When did you put your baby in their own room?

[New2TheMNet]

I was just wondering at what age parents moved their baby into their own room and why?

I know the advice is for little ones to stay in the same room as you until they are 6 months but wanted to hear from others.

Thanks x

12 months cos she didn’t sleep enough before then to make it worth it.

Moved DS into cot in own room at 4 weeks (he outgrew the Moses basket quickly). I slept in with him until 12 weeks when we started waking each other up then I moved back into my own bed with DH. I wanted him to get used to his own room ASAP. Not sure I’d use a Moses basket for nighttime if we did it again, just straight into the cot and me in the same room (we are fortunate that our bedrooms are big enough to take both a cot and a bed).

6 months for DC1 and 4 months for DC2

DD was 6 months on the dot as she was sleeping through from 12 weeks, DS moved into their bedroom (shared with DD) at 8 months as he was still waking up in the night and taking a while to settle, after 8 months, he's still waking up occasionally (only 1 time per night) but he'll now feed and go straight back to sleep so doesn't wake his sister up. We'll do the same with this one.

2!

At birth. It was the norm 17 years ago. I had a single bed in their room and slept in their after their first wake up in the early hours.

About 7/8 months. Once we had a better routine and sleep near eachother was a hindrance over a being a benefit to getting a good nights sleep

DC1 at about 6 months I think, although I ended up sleeping on a single bed in her room for at least part of the night for a long time afterwards.

DC2 (currently 14 months) is still in with me, while DH has decamped to the spare room. He is still not a great sleeper and I really don't want to traipse through the house at 3 am when I don't have to. We'll see how it goes....

My DD was in her Moses basket in our room until about 8mths. She slept solidly through anything though and didn't move in her sleep and was tiny enough to stay in it safely.
My DS is 4mths and is a shit sleeper compared with the first. He's in a Snuzpod at the end of the bed and wakes me up constantly as he thrashes about and kicks half the night. As soon as we can redecorate the spare room and move my DD in so DS can move into the adjoining room to our bedroom, he'll be moving over so we can all get better, less disturbed sleep.

Eight weeks both times. They slept through regularly not long after.

6 months

7 months both times.

One was woken every time by my dh turning over in bed 10,000 times a night and the other wanted to be on the boob constantly if she knew I was near.

Neither slept through after being moved but both slept better.

From birth (the 6 month advice didn't exist then).

No it wasn't. It was still guidance to keep them in the same room until 6 months (my dcs are 18 and 15).

Think ours both moved around 8 months

4 months

2 yrs old for both children, we coslept until then.

2 weeks ... DS slept really well (so did we!), I know it's not what is recommended now but it worked for us. Apart from one very quick night feed I never had a disturbed night. DS slept 7pm - 7am (with the one quick feed but always went straight back to sleep).

The eldest was around 10 months, by the time my youngest was born I had stopped trying to do what anyone else said and realised that doing what worked for my family was the best all round. She was 7 when she went into her own room but we got some sleep over those years that we otherwise would have missed.

4 months she out grew the side cot I had .. it kept waking her as she was a wriggler.

7 months. Tbh I think she could have benefitted from her own space quite early on. She was very disturbed by us from young age. Even now she's a light sleeper. But obviously safer sleeping guidance.

3.5 months and worked really well for us and DS slept longer without us in the same room

Day one! It wasn't the recommendation back then (my oldest is 18) to keep baby with you. But we had a baby monitor and for the first few months I was in there to feed him a couple times in the night.
What i don't understand is baby goes down at 7-7.30, so are parents going to bed then too? Keeping baby downstairs? If not then why is it ok for baby to sleep on their own for 4plus hours then suddenly not?

Until they stopped breastfeeding

1st child 14/15 months
2nd child 2 and a half

Not co-sleeping I had their corned in my room just made my life easier

Sorry typo
I had their cotbed in my room when they started getting too big for the bed

For context the bedroom is huge but they seems to like it now 7 and 4 happy in their own rooms
