When to move baby into her own room

[slowlearner]

DH and I can't agree about whether to move DD (3.5 months) into her own room. I want to wait until 6 months as per the official guidance which is aimed at reducing the risk of cot death, but DH wants to do it asap. One thing we do agree on is that it would definitely result in a better night's sleep for all 3 of us (DH's snoring, toilet trips etc disturb DD who then wakes for a feed when otherwise she would sleep for longer - I know this from the occasional night DH is away or sleeps in the spare room). DD normally wakes twice in the night for a feed, is up for about an hour each time but settles easily afterwards - this really doesn't bother me at this young age. What do people think? Do many people follow the 6 month advice? THANKS!

We live in a small house and the room we wanted to put our dd into was right next to ours. We moved her in there at 10 weeks and everyone slept better. I couldn't believe how much noise she made - and I don't mean crying - just wiggling around, grunting etc !!?? Obviously we had a baby monitor. Personally I would go for it and tell yourself that your dd will be well used to her room by the time she becomes more aware. Good luck !

havent read posts, but to OP - I had the exact same question as you when DS was young. In the end, I moved him out when he was 5 weeks old. He was so unbelievably noisy, plus we would disturb him if we made any noise - I did it to retain my sanity and am very glad that I did. Plus I didnt want DH sleeping in the spare room. He is right across from us so didnt need monitor or anything.

You really have to decide what works for you as I know going against the guidelines is not an easy decision to make. I now have the decision on whether to follow guidelines on weaning....believe me it never stops.
