Moving baby to own room

What age did you move your baby to their own room?

My son is coming up to 14 weeks old and he has been in a next to me cot. I've been gradually getting him to have his daytime naps in his own room in the cot to kind of transition him there.. but I feel he is that bit young to move out of our room. He's a very noisy sleeper and we just aren't getting much sleep despite him sleeping great from 11:30-6am

Thank you for any input

DS went into his own room at 6 weeks. It coincided with DH starting a new job which involved shift work. He was the other side of a stud wall with the cot against it (the head of our bed was the other side. We also kept both bedroom doors open.

@Starbeach he is usually very sleepy, we kind of 'dream feed' him at 1130 and transition him when the bottle is in his mouth so he actually never properly wakes.
I find if I get to him and feed before he is fully awake he doesn't really need resettling too much.. but he makes a lot of noise in his sleep.. which at the beginning I mistook for him actually being awake but he's not. Babies are just loud sleepers I think x

They are GUIDELINES. Not laws. Mine never slept in my room. In fact they were on a different floor. Both exclusively breastfed.
If you have them in your room due to the minuscule possibility of SIDS, does that mean once you put them down at say, 7.30, you stay with them? If not, what's the difference?
