Tips for moving baby into their own room?😩

So my baby is now standing up in his next to me obviously this is no longer safe and he is getting a bit big for it anyway really. Up and down it 🙃 so I think it’s time we take the leap and move him into his cot in his own bedroom. I just really don’t want to.🥲 anyways? Has anyone got any tips for how they have done it? It just makes me sad not having him next to me but it’s something that’s got to happen at some point. I know he’s just over seven months now.

We’ve just started the process with out LO! I’m doing a week or two of day naps with her but she’s doing nights in the travel cot in our room as she was too big for the NTM! Then once she’s comfy doing days I’ll attempt nights! We are also getting dressed in there and playing in there so she gets used to being in there :) I’m proper struggling with the thought of her being away on her own at night though!!! Xxx

First, as advised above, if you haven't already, get baby used to sleeping in their room by getting them to nap in there, play in there, get dressed in there. If you can manage with them in your room for a few more nights either moving them to a travel cot or a cot. Not the end of the world if you can't it can just help. Then when you put him in there for nights, keep everything consistent like the white noise machine, mobile, blanket etc. and do night routine in his room. If you're planning to sleep train, I advise the ferber method we did that with our first and will be doing it with my baby, it takes consistency so you'd need to ensure you've not got any evening plans and it's best to get baby daddy to do the training

@Fatima sorry what even is sleep training haha

@Sarah-Louise okay thank you the only problem is we don’t have a lot of time I think we’re gonna have to potentially do it this weekend because it’s not very safe now

Sleep training is basically an attempt to stop baby waking in the night and learning to self-soothe

I’ve refused as I’m also not ready and moved the cot into our room. Works great

I'd just bite the bullet and go for it, see how he gets on. Like you say it's not safe for him to be in the next to me anymore xx

@Fatima okay that’s good! My little one doesn’t wake up in the night, but that could all change once he goes in the cot I guess

@Moon We literally can’t move the cot in our room haha

@Sophie yeah I think we will have to it’s just so sad haha

Every milestone/stage has some crazy emotions tied to it🥹❤️

Oh that’s hard. Can u move with baby?
