When to move baby from next to me to a bed ?

Our little mine is 5 and a half months, we had planned on doing it at 6 months but I don’t feel ready! Is that awful?! We’re planning to bring the big cot into our room now.
I’ve ordered a cot bed and once it arrives he’s going straight in there. He’s way too big (length and weight) for his snuzpod now. 🤦🏻♀️
Yeah people are all different it's all about when you feel ready I think... as we moved him to his bigger cot at around 3 months to his room and we'd alternate nights to sleep on the single bed in there with him. Then at 5 months he's been sleeping on his own in his room... xx
We’re planning from 6 months as at this point we are disturbing LO in the night, I think he will love his own room
I’d say there’s no right or wrong answer. Our boy went into his own room at 2 months old and it’s worked wonders for us xx
-rolling, sitting up or over the weight for it. So if your little one is okay for all of those. Then just use your mama instinct and judgement. I’m sure you will choice your hats right for you both.
I’m thinking of doing it when mine turns six months next month. He will be in the room next to mine and he is used to his room as for feeds when upstairs I sit in the rocking chair in his room. But I really like being able to see and hear him breathe next to me. I currently have him in the snuzpod but it isn’t attached to my bed so there’s at least 2 feet between his cot and my bed. The slights change in his breathing or he wakes but without crying I can hear or tell. So wake straight away. I’m nervous about having him in the other room but I know he will be okay. I sleep with the bedroom doors open so I will be able to hear him and I often leave him sleeping upstairs while being down stairs or leave him down stairs when I need to go to the bathroom upstairs or to get something. So I know I can hear him when I’m away from him in other parts of the house. Sorry went on a tangent haha. I think the next to me crib say six months because they assume your baby will be either-
Mine’s outgrown the next to me, wake up with his head by the edge and him looking for stretch room so we’ve moved him to the crib but i set it up in our room for now.
