moving baby to his own room

Following! My baby boy is getting too big for his bassinet. He’s like 5.5 months. He did good in his room last night but I’m not ready 😮‍💨😭

I moved my LG at 4 months, we swapped and I had a camp bed in her room 😂
She slept so much better in her big girl cot x

i’m absolutely fine with him napping in a different room so i hope i would be okay with it during the night🤞🏼 we’ve got a baby monitor iswell which would hopefully help ease my concern. i just don’t know if it’s too risky to move him yet. he’s slept through the night since 2 months old so that’s not really a concern of mine. i just don’t know what i can and can’t do with being a ftm🫣

my little boy takes much longer naps when he’s in his own room! seems like he gets a better sleep there. he sleeps through the night regardless but i can’t help thinking he’s more comfortable in his cot than in his crib! our bedroom gets so hot iswell because all the furniture is so crammed and the body heat so my partner has been needing to sleep on the couch🤦🏼‍♀️

My baby is in her cot now at 4 months, has been since 3.5 months! We moved her not due to size but more for the fact she is such a fidget and slams her legs that she was waking herself up in her Next To Me which meant we woke up!😂 I am in the nursery with her though but plan to leave her in here around 5.5/6 months if she sleeps through consistent!

To try and reduce the risk of SIDS as much as possible It’s recommended to keep baby in the same room as mum overnight until 6 months as babies use their mums breathing to regulate their own throughout the night until that age! So it’s a guideline not an absolute “you have to do this” but everyone has different things that work for them, if you feel comfortable doing so then go for it xx

We moved my baby at 4 months and everyone slept better. We did have the owlet sock that monitored him all night though.

You could get a baby monitor for your baby and leave your phone on to check on him. I got Nanit, the best for us

I moved my first at 5 months and second at 7 weeks - he’s now 5 months. It may be controversial but if you are providing a safe sleep space - they are safe. We all sleep better for it!

I moved mine at 5 months and it’s been great. I hear a lot of people say that their baby naps in their own room, which is lovely but trying to get my girl into a deep enough sleep for a crib transfer is something I prefer to do just once a day at night time 😆 she naps in our bedroom on the big bed, so when we made the move into her nursery, it went from 0-100

My daughter is 2 and still sleeps in my room but in her bed.

my LG was 4 months when we moved her into her own room. if you read up on it, the risk of SIDS after 4 months is minimal & it is very normal for babies to be in their own rooms from this point so it’s really up to you xxx

I did it the weekend after her 6month appointment

My son was always in the high 90 percentile for both weight & height, we moved him into his own room at 6 months 2 days and he’s slept amazing ever since.

He wakes up once for a feed. He rolls around when he pleases and lots of space for him.

I was so anxious about it at first and even argued with my partner about moving him, but I was so glad I did. My son is also a belly sleeper.

I know many ladies on here move their babies earlier, I personally don’t recommend it, I waited til 6 months, but I think if you have good temperature control, appropriate clothing & a baby monitor, your bub is safe. Goodluck xx

we’re the exact same house wise! a single wall between bedrooms and the living room is right across the hall even if we were in there during the night.

My baby was 6 and half months when I moved him I still felt uncomfortable when I first moved him but he’s doing great now

We moved his cot into our room then moved him into it as he had outgrown his next to me crib at 14 weeks, best decision we made he now sleeps much better. As he was so young I wasn't ready for him to be in his own room so this was the compromise that worked for us

It's not considered safe to move them before 6 months as they still rely on you to help regulate them and not having that increases their risk of SIDS.

We moved ours at 8 months and on reflection that was too soon for him and caused us all a world of pain. I wish we'd waited longer.
