My LO is 10m and sleeps in her own crib in our bedroom. She has always been a relatively good sleeper, and she now fairly often sleeps through the night, and tbh often when she wakes up it's because we've disturbed her as we go to bed ourselves.
In many ways this current set up still works fine for us. It's super easy for me if she wakes up to feed her and then us both go back sleep quickly, and I quite enjoy knowing she is next to me. We also have very little space in our flat, and whilst we do have a room she could move to, it's also an office and storage room, so it kind of be better to not have to fit a crib in the space as well. In the next year we hope to move house, so ultimately she will have a dedicated bedroom of her own.
Because it's working right now, and it doesn't require rearranging our office, I'm tempted to continue with her sleeping in our room. But I'm worried that if we do that we will 'miss the boat' on an opportune moment to move her. I don't think she minds sleeping away from us or gets distressed when she wakes up and we are not in the room, so I think it would be a fairly easy transition at this point to her own bedroom. However, I worry if we wait another 6m-year till we move house, then she will have become much more aware of the change and much more attached to being in a bedroom with us.
I know a lot of people continue to room share well into toddlerhood, but I get the impression this is often because the baby wakes up a lot and it's kind of needed for the ease of everyone. Has anyone had any experience of extended room sharing with an easy sleeper for space-saving reasons - did you come to regret not moving them earlier, or was moving them when they a toddler just fine?
Basically, should I do whatever I have to move her now, even if that means rejigging our flat in a way that's quite sub-optimal for us, or should I just continue as we are and deal with moving her down the road when we have more space?
