Where does your baby sleep?

[c24680]

Hi all,

I know it's recommended that your baby sleeps in a cot in your bedroom until 6 months however, has anyone put their baby in their own room earlier?

My DD is 4 months old, sleeps from 7pm-7:30am and I'm beginning to think it's time she slept in her own room. It's not a problem her being in our room at all though 🙈

Our daughter was exactly the same, she slept 8-8 from 6 weeks old (blessed), but we still waited till around 7 months to move her in to her bedroom.
She is our first child so I don't think we wanted to move her before then and to be honest, we didn't even really think about it till the 6month mark.
I would do what feels right for you. x

We moved our DD into her own room at 4 months. We had a video monitor and a single bed in there so one of us could sleep in with her if we wanted. Obviously it's not recommended though.

We put our babies I to their own rooms from 4 weeks old. I'm just a very light sleeper and would jump up at any noise.

Both were breastfed, so I also (rightly or wrongly) worried they could smell my milk and would therefore wake up more frequently.

They are on a different floor to our master bedroom but I hear any mumble or cry immediately and down there like a flash!

We did use a video monitor at first. But the light disturbed me sleeping and I don't need it.

Mine is 8 months and sleeps in our room but I'd move him in a flash if we had another room for him. Considering putting him into his sister's room to share but I'm not sure how well that'd go as he likes to sleep in the dark while she wants a night light on.

4 months with monitor but next door to us anyway.

In his own room for all naps and night sleep at 4 months - with a monitor on. He was a muttering, snoring nightmare to share a room with!
NOT in line with the SIDS guidelines however.

Four months with a video monitor and sensor mat - plus was in the room next to us so I heard everything!

We were waking each other up and had just got over the sleep regression.

9 months old and we co-sleep. I like them in the same room as me until after 12 months. Completely personal preference.

Thanks everyone, she is our first also, only considering it as she sleeps so well! I think I'll keep her with us a little while longer.

My first two stayed in their cot in my room until about 18 months. My third is still in with us at 11 months.

If mine slept that well I wouldn't dare change it. For 6 months is the recommended time, and I would stick with that as a minimum if I could. My first was in with us, in a travel cot till 14 months. I couldn't bare making a bad sleeper worse!

We put them in their own room at 11 weeks for the eldest and about 10-11 months for the youngest.

I probably wouldn't have moved eldest as early if logistically we could have waited. I also would have moved youngest sooner, but he was going in with his brother and to avoid them disturbing one another we waited for as long as possible.

We had a video monitor which gave me peace of mind with eldest. We also tended to go up to bed when he went and watched TV in bed next door so could hear him anyway if we needed to go in.
