What age did your little ones stop sleeping in your room?

[[M]umma[M]ia]

Atm, DD is in her cot, in our room. I dont feel comfortable her being in her own room all night atm, so im curious, when did your little one make the change? What were your reasons behind moving them out of your room? Did u cope with walking down the hall to their room to tend to them in the middle of the night?

I waited for my kids to outgrow their cradle before moving them into their own rooms. They were all sleeping through the night so I didn't have to get up to them. At first it worried me, I thought I woudn't hear them if they did wake but I always did hear if they did wake up.

Hi,
Ds was in his bassinet in our room for the first 5 months (until he outgrew it) We then moved him to his cot in his own room, which is right next to our room so no problems with stumbling down the hall in the middle of the night. i was very worried the first few nights, but he actually started sleeping better, and he was fine. i'm really glad we decided to do it.
All the best.

Brendan was in our room until he was 14 months. We lived in small houses, so there was no room for him to have his own room. At 14 months we moved into a bigger house and he got his own room because his cot wouldn't fit in our room.

M slept in our room in a bassinet until she was too big for it (about 5 months). I would have put her cot in our room but it didn't fit. I found it difficult to move her to her own room. I loved having her nearby and I thought I would find it harder to hear her and it would be annoying walking down the hall to her. The first night I missed her terribly, but after that I was OK because everything was fine. In fact I realised I slept better without her in the room. Also she sleeps better in her own room - I think our sounds might have been waking her up.

We just moved DD 2 weeks ago, and its been the best move for us all. DH is a very light sleeper and I realised DD takes after him, because we would all wake up to each other's snores and shuffles.

We loved having her in the room, and I missed her a lot the first few nights, but we all sleep better with her in the other room. Now I only get up to her once, and I realise I was feeding her all through the night just to keep her quiet...

I hope the next baby is a heavy sleeper, because I miss having a baby in the room already.

Hi MM, We had DD in our room until she was 1, when we moved to our new home. She settled in to her own room really well. DD is nearly 5 and still has her baby monitor in her room. We'll keep it there 'till it breaks. I'd rather hear her if she needs me and go in to her, before she comes in to me and frightens the cr#p out of me. Her room is not right near ours.

DS is nearly 4 months and in our room again, even though we have his room all ready to go. Not sure when we'll move him yet??? He's a very quiet sleeper and sleeps from 7pm until sometime between 5am and 6:30 am, so obviously even DH's loud snoring doesn't even bother him Lol!

I guess when you feel ready, you'll make the move.

Ashton goes down in his bed most nights, and I get him when he wakes for a feed then he sleeps in my bed for the rest of the night. The odd occasion he has slept through and I've woken at 5 or 6 and realised he is still sleeping hehe

I love having him sleep with me, Jaidan did until he was 14 months old, Chase didn't at all because it was hell getting Jaidan into his own bed! I had planned the transition a couple of months before so I could have the new baby in the bed but Jaidan had other ideas lol

DD was 18 months old ... partly because we were renovating "her" room. Without the renovations ... not sure. But I know one thing for sure, don't fall for the line that they won't get used to sleeping in their room if you have them in yours. DD now ABSOLUTELY REFUSES to sleep in our bed, even though she did for 8 months and then in the same room till 18 months. I now have to sleep with a teddy because I miss her so much and she refuses to sleep with us.

MM.... well lol Oskar is STILL in our room, in his cot next to me. He's 27 1/2 months - Elijah is 3 months and he's in there too lol. He's in his hammock at the end of the cot both on my side of the bed. I LOVE having Oskar there and will probably transition him to his bed (it's a single but can be made shorter so it's only about cot length atm) in there then to his room. I really do love him being there though and if he stirs in the night I can settle him before he really wakes up or if he's not well I can check what's going on. He threw up about a month or so ago but was on his back and not turning his head once he kinda woke up a bit and was frightened (he was choking a bit) so I was able to get to him (rolled him then sat him up) way before I would've even heard him had he'd been in his own room even though it's across the hallway cos we'd have the doors closed because of teenager.

So anyway at this point in time I have no immediate plans to move either of them anywhere. Oskar will possibly just decide to sleep in his big boy bed (which is set up) in his room one day on his own when he's had enough of us haha.
