When to move to crib in own room?

Right now my 3 week old is sleeping in the newborn napper in the PNP in our room. Im thinking this week of moving him out of the newborn napper but and into the bassinet part of the PNP to make transition to the crib easier.  When did you put baby in their crib in their own room?  His room is down the hall from ours so will be using a monitor once we make the move.

    We moved just this week, she currently is 6 weeks. So far it hasn't gone too bad, one bad night that was mostly likely gas related. I have kept the bassinet in our room so we can put her in that if we need it.

    Kate started out in our bedroom the first week, then master closet in the PNP bassinet.  She moved upstairs to her crib at 7 weeks once she was STTN. 

     If you can easily get to the baby in the crib in the middle of the night, skip the PNP and go for the crib.  Less to transition later.

    We made the transition at 4 weeks but her room is right next to ours, I don't even use the monitor.  I was finding myself waking to the slightest little movement she made and it was killing me!  The transition has been flawless.  She sleeps better, I sleep better and everyone in the house is happy!  GL.  I say the sooner the better.

    We waited until 6 weeks, but should have done it much much sooner. He started STTN once we put him in his crib. He didn't do it immediately but I think by the 3rd night he did and still does. I don't know why I was so afraid of moving him in there!!

    Our LO was sleeping in his room the first week we were home.  He was in our room for a couple days but I wasn't getting any sleep.  He's a very active sleeper and quite loud at night.  His room is right next to ours so we don't need a monitor.  This has worked smooth for us.  He can be laid in his crib after eating and fall asleep on his own just fine.

    We've kept ours in our room longer, for no particular reason.. We moved DD to her own room and crib at about 12 wks.. we're moving DS to his own room this weekend at 10 wks.. Can't wait to have my bedroom back!  Have it be a place for retreat and relaxation ;)

    I did what you're doing- went from newborn napper to the flat part of the PnP when she was getting too long for the napper (in our room). I started putting her in her crib for naps a few weeks ago (but not every nap) and moved her to the crib @ night on Tuesday.

    I thought we'd both be ready because she was sleeping for longer stretches @ night, usually about 6-7.5 hours before waking to eat, and she's a noisy sleeper so she was keeping me up a lot! It's going very well so far. 

    Good luck!
