Question for those who sleep in same room as baby

Desmond&MollyJones* · February 2010

At what point are you planning on moving them to their crib in their own room?

DS slept in the same room as us until 2 weeks ago. I decided to move him to his own room when he began STTN

When we get a house with a second bedroom! Hahaha. But not.

We moved her at 2 months. I really made it out to be a lot harder in my mind than it was, to be honest. She was fine! We still bring her back in on occasion when we can't calm her but she's been great.

4 months, it's what the pedi suugests and it reduces the risk od SIDS for them to sleep in your room.

Initially my answer would have been when DD approaches the weight limit on the bassinet (15 lbs). However it will probably be sooner than that since DD is now sleeping 4+ hours at night and is a very noisy sleeper so as long as she is letting us sleep we should probably try to make it better quality sleep.

She sleeps in her crib, our bed is actually in her room. It's not our choice (the master bedroom of our apartment doesn't seem to hold heat, so we've moved to her room where it stays warm). Probably in May we'll move back to our own room. But she's been in her crib since 4 weeks so it would have been then had we had our way.

I don't know...I hate the thought of DD waking up alone in her nursery. Sad

But DH just informed me that she is NOT sleeping with us forever...lol!

She moved to her crib in her room at about 6 weeks. Everyone has been sleeping better since! (That was 4 weeks ago)

I had planned to have him sleeping in the nursery by the time I go back to work (he will be 14 weeks), but since the nursery is on the first floor and our bedroom is on the third floor, I will probably move him when he is only waking once per night. Otherwise it's too tough on my sleep schedule. I hope he will be ready by then but if not, that's OK. He's waking 2-3 times now; with more 2-time nights than 3-time nights so we are making progress

DH says when he's 6 months...I am fighting to keep him in our room for much longer.

bwinkels2b · February 2010

We're gonna try tonight for the first time sleeping in his own room. Wish us luck!

When she's STTN.

caholland · February 2010

Maybe 3 mos. but that is a big maybe. I like having him close. I still wake up during the night just to make sure he is breathing. He, however, usually sleeps a good 7 hour stretch every night...*quickly knocks on wood*!

PinkMnM26 · February 2010

He takes naps in his nursery Wink I have to justify spending all that money decorating that room. Once he got here I couldn't understand why I should put him in a separate room. I feel the pressure to do so from dh and his family but I like the co-sleeping lifestyle.

Right now the plan is till at least 6 months---maybe longer if I can sneak it in or convert dh Devil

we planned on 6 weeks but we just started painting the nursery so we're waiting until it's finished. we were slackers on getting the room ready for this baby.

Haha! We're in a 1 bedroom place too.

To answer the OP: When she STTN, why rush it? I like knowing she is safe and warm. with me.

jenny1980 · February 2010

We're still bed sharing. Step 1 will be transitioning her to her co-sleeper. Once she's sleeping 5+ hour stretches in her co-sleeper, we'll consider moving her to her own room. I don't see this happening until 3-ish months at the very earliest, though.

Right now, I really like her next to me. It makes me more relaxed to hear her breathing/movements and it's easy access for breast feeding (ie: I don't even need to get out of bed when she wakes up).
