Has anyone put their baby in their own room before they was 6 months ? Did it help them at night ? Is 4.5 months too young?

It depends on your baby! My son was ready to sleep in his own room at 2mo. Your baby might not be ready, or they might be and you can start getting them to sleep in their own bed. Just remember it's generally only recommended to start sleep training at 6mo if that's what you want to do

We did it at 5.5 months as we had been away and sleep had been completely disrupted and didn’t want to get back into routine to then disrupt it again a few weeks later, it did seem to help as think we were waking our son up when we went to bed, (we were already putting him to bed and then coming downstairs) you might be in 4 month regression though if you are having a tough time at the moment so being in their own room may make it worse

Nope. Our sleep didn’t change, and we were conscious of the advice that 6 months (even a year) is recommended as your breathing helps them regulate their own. We had a rough 4 month regression but it helped being in the same room (otherwise we’d have been between rooms all night) x

Personally id keep them in the same room until at least 6 months. Just to keep a close eye on them.

We didn't but just in case you're not aware safe sleep guidance advises all sleep in the same room before 6 months as it's protective against SIDS.
Moving our boy to his own room actually made his sleep even worse.

We did at 5 months worked wonders for us! We was always waking her up going into the bathroom etc as her crib was near the door so didn’t help!
