Daughter is 5 months old and I’m wondering if it’s time to go into her own room, purely for the size of the cot as the next to me seems too small now and she can’t stretch out, has anyone else transitioned earlier then the 6 month guidelines?

My girl is 5 months this week and we are looking at moving her in the next couple of weeks into her own room as we are disturbing each other in the night and we are putting her to nap in her cot on her own in the day x

My boy has been in his own room since 2 months, same as his older sister. it was a case of they grew out of the moses basket and our room couldn't fit the cot. Turned out both times all parties slept better once moved 😀

Do you keep the baby monitor by your bed? Do you turn the motion sensors off? Thinking about making the move in a couple of weeks when baba will be 5.5 months as next to me is getting to be too small

The monitor is pretty much next to my head on a bedside table, and I don't have the motion sensors on. In fairness his cot is just the other side of the wall and I'm a light sleeper so I sometimes hear him anyway 😀

We put our LO in her room just before she was 5 months old. We were disturbing her when we came to bed and she was rolling confidently so had little room in the next to me! Best thing we did for all our sleep! I have the monitor on next to me all night with a monitor sensory to light it from standby and can hear her if she cries anyway (which is very rare as she self soothes really well) x
