I moved my little one when he was 4 months old. I believe it’s just when you feel it’s right for you and your baby!

Baby should be with you until 6 months+ to reduce the risk of SIDS x

My baby wasnt sleeping good in our room, we all kept waking each other up being light sleepers. We moved him at 4 months and its been great! Sleep is way better for all!

They need to be with you for all sleep (night & day) until at least 6 months old, ideally 12m, to protect against SIDS. Your breathing regulates theirs x

Moved my eldest when he was around 5.5 months. He was constantly sleeping through the night and I found that when I came up to bed for the night I was disturbing him. He slept amazingly in his room until the 1 year regression. Then after some sleep training closer to 2 years he has gone back to sleeping beautifully. Even now at 3.5 years he sleeps solidly 11/12 hrs. Doesn't leave his room. Definitely a unicorn baby when it comes to overnight sleep 😅 didn't do anything special to ease transition of moving him into his own room. Other than we had his cot in our room from about 3 months (he is a long boy so outgrew the next to me quick!) then just moved the cot into his room.
