Moving baby in own room

i moved my son at 4 months old and it was a godsend i definitely think he sleeps so good in his own room now and we never had an issue about sleeping again because we started so early

Personally I couldn't sleep with my girl next to me so she got moved in at 5 days old. She knows now that that is her room and her sleepy space and as soon as we go in she is READY for bed. The first night or so will be really hard on you (he'll be fine) but you'll be constantly waking up and straining to listen for him. Then you'll adjust and he'll do great!

I think it's really down to what you're comfortable with. I personally wouldn't have wanted to move mine out early against UK guidance because I'm a worrier(she was in NICU for a long time) but know people who have with no issues. I also didn't have to worry because mine fit in the next to me until she was one 😂

6-12 months is recommended due to reduction of SIDS. If you could have baby with you until at least 6 months then it would be better yes. It’s less about ‘when you feel ready’ when baby is under 6 months old.

I move my twins into their own room at 5 months, I know just short of 6 month guidance but they had outgrown their Moses baskets and I didn’t have space for large cot in my room. I felt it was safer for them to be in a larger cot they weren’t squished in!

I personally wouldn’t go against guidance when there is an increased risk of SIDs.

@Skye I agree

Thanks all I think I will keep him with me till at least the 6 month mark after reading more about guidance

We put our boy in his own room the day he turned 4m because he'd also outgrown the snuz. Since then he and I have slept so much better. I have the monitor on him all night and his room is next to mine. He's now 12m and im so glad we did it when we did because he's such a good sleeper xx

Moved my first into his own room at 4m and I don’t regret it. It was the first time he’d slept all night as we weren’t all waking each other. His room was at the end of our hallway, had a baby monitor etc.

My baby is just turned 6 months and I don’t plan on moving her any time soon. She sleeps great in her crib by me and it calms my nerves with her being in the room as opposed to across the house in her own room. Do what you’re comfortable with!
