Our DS is still in our room in a crib. It has worked for us so far but he's waking so much throughout the night that I'm thinking we may need a change. I'm curious what everyone else's sleeping arrangement is and if your happy with it?
Ours has been in his room exclusively (barring the occasional rough night) since he was 3 months old. We realized that our moving at night was waking him up in his cosleeper, so we moved him to the swing first, then the crib, and now he is a champion sleeper. Been sleeping through the night since then 12 hours consistently and puts himself to sleep now. That part sort of bums me out, but i know in the end it is better for him. I just miss the snuggles.
7/5/11 MC at 8 weeks. 5/17/12 BFP, twins EDD 1/20/13! 6/20/12 Baby B's heart has stopped beating. 8/31/12 Baby A is a boy! And is perfectly healthy and thriving. 1/19/2013 emergency c-section, Thoren is perfect. 3/1/2013 told i will never be able to conceive again. 12/16/13 told they were wrong!
In her room. I cannot be within earshot of her otherwise I wake up everytime she groans or rolls over lol We're still close enough that I can hear her cry if she needs me though.
DD has slept in her crib in her room since a little over 2 months old. We figured out she was waking herself up trying to stretch in her bassinet in our room because she was hitting the sides. Once we moved her into her crib, she started to sttn. We all sleep much better now.
Babies do wake a lot at night, it's normal. As they get older they learn to put themselves back to sleep, we just have to let them and not rush to them every time they whine or cry (unless of course they can't settle themselves down or are sick or something). but the important thing is to let them try to settle down themselves first. I don't need to wake everytime she does so in her room works best.
We moved DD to her crib in her room a few weeks ago. I think she was just shy of 7mo when we made the move. We're all happy with the situation. I was sad to move her from our room, but I felt like she was ready for her own space.
DS has been in his crib at night since he was 2 weeks. We all sleep better! He napped I the PNP in the living room until close to 6 months. Now he napkin his crib too.
I think I moved Ds to his crib before he was ready, so I waited a while to move Dd. I think she was about 6.5mos when we moved her. With teething, we've had some rough nights, but I've kept her in there bc I need the separation, not her

We started DD in her crib in her room at 6wks. She was STTN till recently when teething became a nightmare. And I've caved and let her sleep in our bed & we never planned on co sleeping. I'm working on getting her back in her room STTN, we've had two good nights hoping it continues.

DD sleeps in her crib in her room. She has been there since she was 3 months. We started off bedsharing, moved her to the RnP at 1 month, then crib at 3. I still put her in bed with me on occasion, if its a really rough night, but I try to stick to the crib for nighttime as much as possible.

She was in our room for the first 6 months, had we had an extra room she would have been moved out at 4 months though. Around 4 months she started waking up every time we entered or exited the room or if we moved too much. As soon as we had the space for her she got her own bedroom and it works well. She sleeps in her crib unless we're out running around and then she'll sometimes take a nap in the Ergo.
She sleeps in her crib in her nursery. Up until about 4 months she's slept in a swing in our room. Now I cannot imagine her in our room as she's a restless sleeper. We've had to share a room when traveling and none of us sleep well!
Aside from the first week when he slept in his swing in the living room while I, DH, and MIL took turns watching him (and endless Law & Order), he has been in his room. When we have slept in the same room while traveling (DS in his pack & play) he wakes up at our every move.
Amelia has been in her crib since day one! We have the visual monitor, so that has always kept me calm during night time. Plus, when she does start to whimper or roll over I always wake up, since I am a light sleeper... and I stay up for quite a while at night, especially when my husband is on shift.
We moved her into her own room at 7 months. I was sad at first but everyone sleeps so much better now. I think we were disturbing her sleep when we moved around at night.
After reading all your replies I think we will be moving DS over to his own room soon. Hopefully next weekend. I can see now that we may be disturbing his sleep as much as he's disturbing ours. I've also been thinking the last couple days how nice it will be to have our bedroom back.
