What is wrong with me?

I'd bet that E would easily transition to sleeping in her crib. It had been a handy storage and outgrown clothing sorting space, and I finally cleaned it out a few weeks ago with full intentions to have her start sleeping in it. However, she's still sleeping in the PnP in our room, and I still wake up once or twice a night to make sure she's breathing, even though it's never been an issue. Is it weird that I'm having a hard time moving her into her own room?

Not at all! I was still in the room with Max at that age, and would check him a couple times a night when I woke up. If you're all doing fine with her in your room, you can certainly just wait a few more weeks to try it!

You're completely normal! Holden slept in my bed until he was 10 months old, and believe me it was way more for my benefit than his =P keep her in your room as long as you want, shes only a baby once!

Oh I don't think you are weird at all! She will be in her crib for many years so what's a few more weeks/months? T slept with me until he was 5 months old then I moved him to his crib seamlessly! It's totally fine if you aren't ready.

Totally normal! Around 4 months is when we started the major transition. We still co-slept half the night till 10 months, too.

Nothing wrong at all! Collin slept in our room until he was 10.5 months old, and in our bed for about 8.5 of those months. We only kicked him out when it became like sleeping with an eggbeater. Even now, I check on him at least once or twice a night to make sure he's still breathing. I think it's a mom thing.

I am a firm believer that you don't need to try anything until you are "ready." I always thought that Livy would be in our room until at least 3 months. At 1 month we moved her to her crib and she slept sooo much better. That's just what worked for us. So if keeping her in your room works for you, I say do it! There's no need to make changes if everything is working well.

Nope I did the same thing. I still go check on M in her crib to make sure she is breathing and sleeping sound. We had her in our room till about 11 months. It was totally more me than her

There is nothing wrong with you! My anxiety kept me from being able to let her be in her own room. I would wake up after my husband fell asleep and bring her into our room. It's better now, but I still sleep better when she's in bed with me. I know she's safe. It's weird. I know. She's almost three and has been in our room 90% of the time since she was born. It's a long story for another time, but you're definitely not alone and there is nothing wrong with you!

Normal, hun!

Sounds like you are a perfectly reasonable, well-functioning momma, that's what's wrong with you. It's instinctive for a reason... keeping our little ones close is what got us this far as a species.

I'm right there with you! Before we had A, I said we would transition him to his crib before I went back to work. I'm back at work and his is still in our room. He has really out grown his bassinet so I know that we need to get him into his room but I won't do it before I go get breathable bumpers and a video monitor. I "think" we are going shopping tomorrow and then will try it this weekend but we'll see how it goes. DH laughed and said he would fix me a bed in A's room if I wanted. I am sure I will get up and go check on him throughout the night once he is in his crib.

Nothing! That is very normal. Do it when you're ready.

Considering I share a bed with my kids till they are about 1, then they sleep next to me in their crib till they are 18 months, then they just go to a twin....I would say, no not weird at all

You should do what works for you and your DH. There's no right or wrong.

I thought DD would have been in our room a lot longer than she was. Having a newborn and a new heightened sense of listening for every little noise left me being a horrible mess. DD would make noise all night (like a snort/snore) and I could never relax enough to sleep. We moved her to her own room and crib at a month. That was the best thing for me and her since now I could be awake and with the program.
