Own bedroom

At what age did you move your babies to their own room ( if you have yet ) ? My LO is 6 months on the 27th but I feel he is ready now to go into his own room but it’s me that’s wanting him to stay. We keep waking him in the night when we disturb/get up to the toilet etc and I feel it’s getting unfair for him. I just don’t know for some reason I feel like I’m doing the wrong thing moving him before 6 months??? Just need some advice to stop the guilt really - thanks!

If you feel he's ready then go for it! A few weeks won't make much of a difference ☺️ I put my little guy into his room last night for the first time at 6month and 5 days and hes done really well. He will do better than you ever think ☺️ I thought I was ready and then the whole day yesterday I had total mixed emotions and it took me a bit to go to sleep but when I woke this morning and seen his happy little face I just felt so proud of him 🤍 I was also disturbing him coming into the room and what not so it really was time to put him in his own room

We started transitioning around 4.5 months having naps in her room etc she was ready we kept waking her throughout the night and I think her little sounds i was jumping up to see to her all the time when she was just being noisy in her sleep 🤣 her room is so close to ours and I have the monitor on next to my head I think we all sleep better now 😅

My baby girl was also born on 27th November! She’s still in our room but wiggles around so much and ends up getting wedged sideward in the next to me sometimes! I think she’d enjoy having more space in her own bedroom soon, however she still wakes up twice in the night for a feed and then a couple times for the dummy, so that’s putting me off her going into her own room. Is your LO sleeping through the night? Xx

@Laura oh wow no way!!! Birthday twins! And nope, he also still wakes up twice for feeds and sometimes for just reassurance etc like your LO. I’m hoping him being in his own room might help with this too but we will see! Xx

@Louise I’m the same! He’s been having naps in his room/cot for a few weeks now as I’ve wanted him to be familiar with the room and cot. His room is next to ours it couldn’t be closer but it still seems like such a big thing!?🤣 I’ve put him in his room tonight so fingers crossed it all goes ok xx

If you feel he’s ready go for it. We moved my first at 4 months because he out grew the next to me. We’ve just moved our second (he’ll be 6 months on Sunday) mostly because he’s room wasn’t ready, but he was definitely ready a few weeks ago xx

I put my little one for naps just after 5m just to get used to the room and then about 2 weeks before she was 6m she was in for night time sleeps and she’s been in ever since. She defo needed it and tbh me and my partner did too!! Don’t feel guilty at all!! I know mums who have done it at 4m for their own reason! You know your babe best x

My boy went in at 5 months 1 week as somebody said it might help him sleep better (it didn’t he stoll wakes up all the time) but as he was already in their I’ve left him there rather than keep going back and forth. He’s 6 months and 1 week now x

I'm going to start getting my little boy sleeping in his room soon. He is 6 months tomorrow but I'm put off doing this because he wakes up for feeds and his dummy

It’s whenever you’re ready to move them really! My boy went into his cot at 3.5 months. Because 1. He was getting too long for his next to be crib 2. We had to stop breast feeding and it was the best way for us. He sleeps all night for 8-10 hours x

I moved my Little one at 2 months. It was the best thing for us all and she’s slept through for a month or so now. We did the same at 5 weeks with our son. 6 months is a guide x

5 and a half months old, because she outgrew her next to me crib and we couldn't fit her cot in our room x

4months, his dads snoring was waking him up a LOT. I was ready for a slow transition/a few difficult weeks but he slept through on the first night 🙃 havent looked back since. Although my little one was rolling onto his front quite early and sleeping on his front so I waited until I knew he could confidently roll both ways/turn his head. (Still obsessively checked on him though 😂)

I'm not ready either and he turned 6 months yesterday 😩. He makes the cutest noises in the next to me (which he is growing out of) and I love waking up in the morning and seeing him smiling at me! We also started him on solids this week so we've decided to wait anyway so we're not introducing too many new things all at once. So we'll probably try and do it in a week or two x

5.5 months and all our sleep massively improved. We found we were waking him up with duvet rustling and my husbands heavy breathing 😂

5 months as her dads work alarms were disturbing her 🤣 We use the owlet and have the monitor on all night to help me feel more at ease. She sleeps a dream! 7pm-7.30/8.30am! We started doing her day naps in there from 2/3 months and then putting her in there from 4 months at bed time and bringing her then into our room when we went to bed so this really helped her transition.
