It's so hard darl. We moved Jazz mostly for her, as we were waking her up, and yep, it was so hard. I cried the first night, I felt she was so far away! I knew it was right though, just hard. It felt different to other times, when I knew she was too little/not ready. I knew she was ready, it was hesitation because of change, not fear. Jazz was 13, almost 14, months when we moved her.

I think if you know its right for you, then the next step is taking the plunge and working your way through it. If it feels wrong, and you're feeling forced, dont do it, you'll just stress over it too much.

Jazz hasn't displayed any behaviours that she might feel 'cast off'. In fact she seems to love that she has her own space, and you know you're not casting her out! It's a natural progression, and the 14 months she has spent with you is positive reinforcement that you will be there for her when she needs it, whether you are in the same room or a different room.
