1 year old still not in own room

[2amclubx]

My baby is 1
Next week and still sleeps in my room is this weird? I'm constantly getting told
I need
To get him out on his own by friends family ect I just like having him close
By it's just me and him and I don't see the issue but it's getting brought up more and more I understand it's
Not the norm but I'm not even sure how I'd go about transitioning him now he's only really just started sleeping well. Any ideas or tips would be helpful.

Like friend today has put her 5month old in her own room and to me the thought of that is terrifying but she said it's the best things she's donez

Appreciate we are an extreme case and often told we are wrong. Our kids are 5 and 2 and both need one of us to sleep with them. I'd rather get sleep than worry about what other people think. I wouldn't stress over it. Your little one will eventually work it out imo

My son is 1 year and 8 months old. He just started sleeping by himself in his own room as we just moved from a one bed flat. The transition
was perfectly fine and he slept through from the first night. So I wouldn't worry, OP.

Every child is different and every parenting method is difficult. Doesn't mean any of you are wrong. You know your kid better than anyone so go with your gut feelings

I think it’s probably not as bad as you think to actually do it but it does seem like a big deal. I’m going through it all again with number 2 and we kept our first in with us a bit longer than the 6 months. I really wasn’t desperate to get him out at all and I felt like when he did eventually go into his own room (it was about 9 months) he was actually ready and I didn’t worry too much. I’m now in that situation again where all my friends have done it sooner (at 3&4 months) but I’m just in no rush. My eldest climbs into bed in the morning and I do actually really love it 🥹 It won’t be forever so do whatever you want, itl be a handful of years max!

Not weird at all!! My LO is 1 next week as well and is currently asleep on my boob in my bed and I wouldn’t have it any other way. No rush in this household to move her out! I love having her close!
ignore everyone else, they can do it their way. You do it yours x

This is more common than you'd realise. It's not spoken about because of the stigma, usually from the older generations who did it differently.

My DC woke up so many times a night, why would I add a walk to another room to settle them? I was back in work, it made sense to be nearby.

He's only 1, do whatever works for you (I personally get better sleep when DC is in their room)

Do what works for you, our child was in their own room and we never had any trouble with sleeping, we slept normally and therefore felt better to cope with the days but up to you what works for you

Sleep in with your child. It’s lovely being close. Especially in winter. And if it’s just the two of you. Nothing wrong with it. My DS has never slept in a room alone. I’ve never watched him on a video screen on my phone. Seems alien to me… Totally normal for my friends. I don’t comment on what they do.
