Move to own room?

Baby has been sleeping through the night since 10 weeks old. Is now nearly 14 weeks. I am still frequently up to the toilet through the night and I’m disturbing him. Considering putting him into his own room with the monitor. He naps in it during the day without the monitor and I can hear him as his room is right next door. Did anyone else move their baby this young? 🙈

Incredible that he sleeps through the night so early!! I moved my twins at 16/17 weeks as they grew out of their next to me in our room. They were fine (didn’t sleep well until recently so can’t commment on that) x

I wouldn't put mine in her own room so young ...I think it is too soon

May be worth having a look at the lullaby trust resources about safe sleep, its recommended that babies under 6 months sleep in the room with you as your breathing helps them to regulate theirs- essentially they are still learning to breathe all night and sometimes forget to and hearing your breathing reminds them, keeping them in your room under 6 months reduces the chances of SIDS

My kids both slept through from about 2 months too but we kept them in our room because of SIDS advice.

Our youngest had a breathing episode randomly at that age that I only caught as I was next to him. He was rushed to A&E in an ambulance and it frightened the life out of us but being in the nexttome crib I heard and saw it immediately. If he was in another room I wouldn’t have.

Disturbing him is okay, your noises are a comfort to him.

The lullaby trust say all sleep needs to be in the same room as you including day time naps for the first 6 months

I'm still giving my little one a bottle at around 3am and she's going on 10 months... if he's stirring or easily woken, it could be a cue that he's hungry. From my experience most babies at his age and if he's under 14 pounds in weight still need that feeding. Hope this helps.
