I was surprised the MOC book recommends the baby sleep in their own room from the beginning. This is the opposite of the "mainstream" recommendation and what other moms say (ie. 6 months in parents room). However, our LO is LOUD and my husband would love to move him to the nursery. Even our pediatrician says it's okay to move him but I'm the road block. Curious what other MOC followers are doing?

Hey Ashley, I moved my little one to his crib at 8 weeks. So far he does pretty well. My dilemma is that now at 12 weeks I want to sleep train him, and I’m not sure if I should go cold turkey or do the gradual every 5 mins method

We tried doing bqby in the room with us but he transitioned himself to his nursery at about a month old. We live in a very old house with lots of temperature fluctuations. His nursery has the most stsble temperature so i think he was just more comfortable there. The biggest risk is items in the crib like blankets or tummy sleeping. In the parents room is an extra precaution but as long as you have a reliable monitor with the volume all the way up everything should be ok

We are trying to get our 7 week old to sleep in the nursery. So far he naps there and we put him down at night there but sometimes he refuses but when he doesnt he sleeps there by himself from 9pm to 3am. As long as the room is temp controlled, crib is empty with just a sheet and he is in a sleepsack or swaddle you should be fine. Have a good monitor and sleep with it right next to you with volume all the way up.
