Our baby is getting too big for our next to me cot and we’re thinking of moving him into the big cot in his bedroom but we have no idea how to start the transition. Can anyone advise how you did it with your babies and what worked best?
Our baby is also going through a sleep regression atm so I’m hoping being in his own room might help?

We started with day naps in his big cot in our room for a few weeks, then once he was used to his day naps, we put him in it for his night sleeps. We then decided once his sleep regression (hopefully) had improved and sleeping 4 hours straight that we would move him into his own bedroom in his cot. Was going well till he got a cold so im now sleeping on a camp bed in his room 🤣

We’re starting the transition by putting my little girl down for her naps in her cot through the day so she gets used to it. Going to keep doing this until we’re ready to have her sleep apart from us - super nervous about it tho!! 😩🥰

I've started with her day naps in her cot with the monitor on and so far it's been great, just waiting for her to get over her cold and we will try her over night

Thank you! That’s a great idea to get him used to the room first with day naps!
