Baby moving into own room?

What age is best to move baby into their own room? I’m about to move house and can’t wait to setup a proper cot in her own room, she’ll be about 6 months by the time we move, is this too early?

We moved my boy in a few days before he was 5 months. Guidance is 6 months but it’s honestly what works best for your family. We had to do it as we were disrupting eachother so no one was getting any sleep x

Hiya! We’ve just moved our baby girl into her own room and she’s 5 & half months! She was outgrowing her next to me crib and needed more space! I was happy as she’s only 2 weeks away from being 6 months and she can roll both ways and get herself into a comfortable position! You know your baby best and do whatever you feel is right! I questioned myself over and over but since she’s been in her own room/cot she’s slept so much better ☺️

We moved our little one in his own room this week and he’s 5 months in a couple of days. I questioned whether it’s too early but he’s been sleeping so much better in his own space and I sleep with the monitor right in front of my face 😅!

We moved our baby boy at 5 months & 1 week. He had outgrown the next to me and needed more space. He’s sleeping so much better now. It was definitely the right decision for him.

We did our first night in his own room last night (6 months in 10 days) and he was a little super star.
However will add that I’ve been doing naps in his own room since 2 months so it’s a really familiar space to him.
Although I cried at him not being next to me anymore.. hormones 😅

My 8 month old moved into hers last night for first time. She slept so much better than she has been last few weeks! My first born boy I moved day dot on 6 months. But I felt I couldn’t let go as easy this time ha

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
