My baby is 6 months in 2 weeks and I’m wanting to move him into his own room this week. He doesn’t fit in his next to me, we can’t bring his cot into our room as it wouldn’t fit, and we’re all constantly waking eachother up at night. Has anyone else done the transition before 6 months?☺️ I guess it’s only 2 weeks away so not too awful to do?

I haven’t yet and don’t really plan to but all my baby does is sleep and cry when he needs something and I always wake up unless I’m very tired then my husband goes to him instead. So I don’t imagine it would be too hard if your little one isn’t waking every 2/3 hours still but either way I believe they recommend till at least 6 months in same room but I know some people who only did it for first couple weeks 🤷🏻♀️ if it works and you feel comfortable with it don’t feel bad about it!

My LO outgrew his Moses basket at 4 months old 🫣 we transitioned him to his cot in his own room and I didn’t sleep for like two weeks out of fear something would happen😭 he was and still is fine so hope that makes you feel better about moving your little one early 🫶🏻

I moved my girl into her own room next to ours before 6 months old I think she was around 5 months. Of course lots of crying and waking up in the night but eventually she got there. I used to make complete darkness for her and put a gentle music in the background.By that time I used to not give her a bottle in the night, she used to go to sleep around 9 or 10pm that was her last bottle, then slowly slowly I pushed her going to sleep earlier and earlier and now 1 year later she’s going to sleep every night at 7pm in her own room with no problems she will sleep all night, every night.My girl never slept in our bed, I never breastfed either.So it’s not awful thing to do, do what you feel your baby and you need and want, if you feel prepared or not. Just remember babies need routine and consistency, when my baby was small used to cry in the night I sometimes pick her up or stroke her in the crib in her own room to give her a sense that she will be sleeping there every night.hope this help
