When does baby go into their own room?

I am jumping way ahead here as my DD is only 6 weeks old, but I was wondering for the future, when people put the cot and baby into their own room?

Thanks

My dd was in her own room right from the start for a variety of reasons. She was only in the room next to us, so we could hear her whenever she needed us, and I really didn't find it a problem that I had to go into a different room to feed her.

dd1 was in our room for about 3 weeks....dd2 was in her own room from day one ! I was a lot happier and slept better because of it.Also it meant there was never any having to get her used to her own room too.

DD1 went into her own room at 16weeks. Dd2 is still in our room and turned 6mths yesterday. For some reason I can't quite bring myself to put her in her own room yet - I think I would worry (unnecessarily) too much!

Both mine went in their own rooms at 6 weeks.
DS because he had grown out of his moses basket (sumo baby, we called him ) and DD because I wasn't getting any sleep ...
One of the main things I noticed was that when DD was in our room I would feed her as soon as she made a tiny noise but as soon as she went into her own room she slept better because she didn't have me disturbing her all the time.
The first few nights I stayed awake listening to the baby monitor and then we switched it off and we never used it again.
By 6 weeks she was only waking once between midnight and 7am ...
She was totally breastfed btw.

Well when DD went into her own room at 6 months she was still being breastfed in the night. Don't think it made much difference to her either way.

After one night in our room our daughter was in her nursery - she slept for seven hours straight that night! We moved her partly because neither dh or I could sleep, and we also lived in a semi and our room was adjacent to our neighbour's bedroom so we felt a bit guilty about baby noise, though our neighbour claimed not to mind.

My friends all did the same TBH.

Ds went into his own room at 9wks old as he didnt wake up as much in the night. However his room was next to ours and could hear every noise in there so like being in the same room. We have moved him into bigger bedroom now and db will go in the small room by ours when its old enough.
