Hi!

Hannah is in a portacot beside our bed at night, but sleeps in her own room and cot during the day. This way she's getting used to the cot and room/surroundings for when I eventually put her to sleep at night in her own room.

You have to go with what you feel is right for your family. I have friends who have had their baby in their own room from the word go, and another friend who has her 3 year old sleep in her bed still. Personally for me, I'd like to have Hannah in our room a little longer for the simple reason that it's easier to get up to her at night! I have tried her in her own room, but she wakes just as often and it's more hassle for me. Others I notice have found that bub sleeps better on their own! It's a tricky decision 'cos there really is no one right answer (don't you hate shades of grey?? lol).
