Own room

We moved ours into his own room last Friday, he was 6.5 months old but had been having disturbed sleep for what felt like ages in next to me so we thought couldn’t get any worse. The first few nights he woke up a few times and I rocked/settled/fed him. Sunday he night he slept all the way through, and same again on Tuesday and last night. Don’t know if it’s because he has more room, or maybe I’m not hearing him as easily and so not rushing to get him up and he is managing to settle himself.. generally our experience of moving him has been positive, but that could change, and of course it was so sad at first, how is he already nearly 7 months!

@Rebecca thank you! It definitely is sad but I feel the same with my girl I feel like I actually unsettle her and wake her a lot and she’s running out of space so think she will do better in her own room but still a worry isn’t it xxx

4.5 months. Controversial but he didn't fit in his next to me anymore and was hitting his head while self soothing and moving around, scratching at the netting etc. Just felt right and he slept better. Had a camera etc but took a while to get used to it and not feel that initial worry xx

We moved our little girl last week and it has been the best thing. We all have our own space back. She still wakes at her usual morning time but we don't worry we wake her when coming in at night now. I bring the monitor in with me at night and have the sound at the lowest volume..I always hear her should she stir

Still in next to me at 7 months but only because her room still isn’t done 🫤 needs quite a bit of work and nowhere to put all stuff in there. she’s scratching at the netting now though and only just fits need hubby to get a wriggle on

My little one is almost 8 months and he’s still in our room 🙈 I’m nowhere near ready to put him in his own room yet. He doesn’t get disturbed with us moving around etc and sleeps right through so we’re in no rush x

I kinda moved my son. He still wakes up in the middle of the night. And I still nurse to sleep. But with him in there when he wakes up at night he will put himself back to sleep, unless he’s hungry. So we start out in there and move to our room around 2-3

Thank you everyone I appreciate it, she seems to little still and I still worry but otherwise I think she’s going to prefer it xxx

I haven’t done it yet but will be in the next week if 2, are people leaving baby monitor on through the night? Not sure what the norm is for sleeping in own bedroom and being able to hear him ect x

@Jami we started with the noise and screen as we were worried but as you get used to it we turned the screen off and left the noise, now we turn off noise and screen because we can hear him cry anyway from the next room. We look at the camera when we hear him to ensure he is ok. I think people will all do differently. I've seen that some people haven't ever used a camera x

With my son I use a monitor and will use a monitor for her as well, I think as Beth said as we get used to it will make us feel more relaxed lol xxx

Exactly the same as Beth. Moved little man into his own room at 14 weeks. Started with video and volume on all night, then moved to audio only. Now I have volume and video both off cos I can hear him when he starts whinging anyway. I still have the monitor screen on the table next to my side of the bed so I can check on him as & when I like
