My own space

I tried to transition at 4 months but my LO is a terrible sleeper. If your baby is sleeping well and you’re sleeping well than transition can be a good choice for your family

Do not feel bad! Baby is sleeping good in their own room in their own bed and that’s amazing! We put my baby in her own room when she was 7-8 months old. I would have sooner but she was a terrible sleeper and it was just easier to have her close lol.

The nurse probably recommended 12m, as that is the safe sleeping recommendation. We moved our Bub into her own room at 9m and still kept the monitor on and next to us overnight. By this stage, she was able to roll back and forth without any issues and we didn’t have any other safety concerns. Don’t feel bad either! If you feel now is the time and that it’s a good, and safe option for you guys, do it. We felt the same way. We didn’t have our own space either and we always had to sneak in and out of the room and hope we don’t wake her in the process.

The recommendation for 12m is probably based on risk of SIDS, but I have a close friend who had the same issue as you do - she, her husband and her baby just would wake each other up, so at the end nobody would get enough sleep. So they consulted their pediatrician and she said it’s fine to move the baby to their own room, which they did at 4 months. I would probably address this with your doctors and get a solution okayed

We did 4.5 months! We were cosleeping, but my bub went through the regression early and was pretty much latched to my boob all night, meaning I didn't get sleep. I was so sleep deprived and depressed.

Some start trialling with naps, but we started at night time. I place her in her cot during the day after every nappy change to get her used to it. We did place 1 toy in there (some don't recommend this as then they think the cot is for playing, not sleeping).

She did well, and I think she wanted her own space. 7.5 months now still wakes 1-2 times a night.

i did room share from birth to about 6 months. at about 6 months we moved to a bigger place and she went to her own room. tho she was already adjusted to her crib, falling asleep by herself (empty room that we would go to when ready to sleep) and sleeping thru the night.

We moved our baby to her own room around 7 months or so. She’s always been a great sleeper since 1 month old but eventually she started to wake up once, sometimes twice every night, when before she would sleep all night. Turns out my husband and I were the ones waking her up!!

First night in her own room she slept ALL night, and every night after that. I was nervous about it at first but it ended up being good for all of us.
