What age did you let your baby sleep in thier own room

[taralisa89]

My baby boy is 3months old and last night was his first night sleeping in his own bedroom in his cot. He sleeps in a cosy dream mould so he can't wriggle nowhere. At what ages did your little ones sleep alone

DS was 9 months and I missed him terribly when I did it

We all certainly got more sleep though

7 weeks. He slept so much better in a big cot bed as he is such a wriggler. And so did we!

20 months. I coslept at first, then she was in a cot next to my bed, then moved across the room. Moved her into her own room a couple of weeks ago as I wanted to decorate my room. All good.

1 week old as she was far too loud and fidgety. Slept through night from about 10 weeks.

DS1 was 5 or 6 months, DS2 went in with DS1 at 3 months.

6 months. It's the clear guidance on preventing sids.

Ds1 12 months
Dd1 18 months
Ds2 2.5 years
Dd2 in our room now at 2 weeks old

DD still sleeps in our bedroom at 3, we left her alone to sleep in our bedroom when she was around 9 months old I think.

5 months because she was crawling by then and it wasn't safe in a co-sleeper or in our bed, but it was quite flexible at that point because she's a crappy sleeper. She was in and out co-sleeping until she was moving too quickly for me to wake up in time to stop her crawling off the bed, so about 7 months in the end. At that point we got a single bed for her room and I spent a week or so in there sometimes still in there

About two days, after which we all slept vastly better. And amazingly, contrary to the madwives' ghoulish wailings, he has managed to make it to 18 months without succumbing to SIDS!

5 months for DD1 as that's how long she stayed in the Moses basket - there was no room for the big cot in our bedroom. We moved when she was 8 months old and got a bigger bed and ended up co sleeping a lot from 10 months to 2 years anyway (we'd take turns going in the spare room).

DD2 will be in with us till 6 months at least & then we'll see how we go. She's in the travel cot in our room as she outgrew the basket ages ago.

Can't remember DD1, but something like 12mo.

DD2 10mo still in room.

The thing is, I cba to walk a long way to do night feeds. I don't have a feeding chair. So it would be pick baby up from nursery, walk to bed, feed, back to nursery. Much easier when the cot is next to me. I will move her out when I'm ready to drop the night feeds.

DD just moved into her own room a few weeks ago at 6 months. She slept in a bedside crib until then, but we were lucky that she's a small baby and doesn't roll so I could keep her beside me until 6 months. I was absolutely terrified of cot death so followed the guidelines to the letter.
Her sleep hasn't really changed since she moved into her own room, tbh. She's still up once or twice a night most nights, although I am considering some sleep training as I know she is capable of sleeping through if she wants to (she's done an 11 hour stretch once, and can go 8 or 9 hours in one go easily).

About ten months when we started putting her in her own cot but for a long time after that I would still bring her into our bed most nights when she woke for a feed, and we'd almost always fall asleep feeding and she'd stay there till morning.

Our son was in with us for a long time as he had broken sleep and also i couldnt have rested if he had been in another room. I always thought it was strange how mums and dads slept in the same bed but babies were put into another room

3 months and we bloth slept wonderfully.
As mentioned above SIDS advice recommends 6 months but they also recommend you to breast feed not smoke etc and we conformed to all the other catagories and had a sleep mat alarm.

mrsnuckythompson guidelines are just that! Putting a ebf baby in their own room has a far lower probability of contribution to SIDS when you consider you get a 50% increased chance of SIDS if you formula feed.

Whatever the circumstances its So heartbreakingly sad for the 300 parents who lose a child to SIDS in the UK every year and the fact that figures are coming down with the back to sleep campaign is important.

About two years.

If you put the baby in a separate room doesn't it annoy you to have to get up multiple times a night to feed them? Obviously how often they wake up depends on the age and the baby, but surely really little babies have to feed in the night?

DS in own room at 9 weeks. Dd1 I slept with her in her room for the first 12 weeks and then I left the room. Same with dd2.
