I’ve got a 5 month old and I’m just wondering when should he go in his room ?? I couldn’t bear the thought of doing it anytime soon but he is quickly outgrowing his next to me :( time is a thief !

Girl, we just transitioned our 7 month old twins to their cribs last week, and put the cribs right in our bedroom. 😂 Neither me or my husband were ready for them to be in their own room. So honestly I’d say whenever you guys are ready!

10 months, almost 11

Moved our bubba in to his own cot around 6 months once he started to roll and grew to big for his bassinet

We moved my little girl just before 5 months (4 months 3 weeks) we got back from holiday and she had outgrown the snuzpod. She slept so much better in her own cot and we kept the baby monitor on her at all time on the highest volume so we could see and hear her all night

Personally I wouldn’t before 12 months as a general guide assuming you can make space for a full sized crib in your room. The closer the better. In my current situation my son would be on another floor to my bedroom so he’s staying until he turns 4 and gets his big boy room.

I waited till he was 9 months, but it was because I wanted to wait until we got new windows. I would have started earlier if there wasn’t such a long wait time to have them installed.

My son is 6 months and when he didn’t fit in his nest anymore I took the border stuffing out and made a border on our bed so he now sleeps free in bed with us and can’t fall out. I’m not ready to put him in his own bed and cdc recommends own room not before 6 months

I'm moving my daughter to her own room next month hopefully, and she'll be 16 months.

We moved my son at about 5 months, purely because he physically didn’t fit in his next to me anymore 😂

We did 5 months as we both weren’t sleeping great, he’s 8 months now and only wakes once x but when ever your ready x

Moved at 6 months with first, and although it felt a bit scary/big move, we all slept so much better afterwards, as we weren't waking each other when wriggling about. My daughter was a good sleeper before that though too, so depends on individuals too.

The Sid’s risk reduces after 6 months so the suggestion is that children can go into their own room after 6 months.

The SIDS advice is to sleep in the same room as an adult until 12 months.
You can move them into their room whenever you like, so long as either you or dad sleep in there.
An adult in the room helps them to learn to stir and move in their sleep, because they hear/feel us when we move and partially-awaken. Naps are okay solo, checking them occasionally, but the long sleep overnight should have an adult present.
The adult also hears the baby stir, and will sleep lighter (and so pick up on changes easier)

Our son woke up a lot throughout the night so we took shifts. He slept with me in the bedroom when it was my shift and then he slept in his own room with my husband when it was his shift. Otherwise we would just go crazy! Also I was worried that If we introduce his own bedroom and new cot too late, he might reject it. It worked for us and my husband moved back at 9 months when my son stopped walking up at night.

I would recommend doing it once they turn 1 years old

my 16 month is still in our bed! He’s so content and we love the cuddles!!!

We didn’t have space for a full crib in our room so we moved her out when she outgrew her next to me.
