I moved my son from the basinette in our room to the cot in his own room at 11 weeks (two weeks ago). I thought we would have to do it gradually... but he's had no problems with it. Like the others, my boy's arms were hitting the sides of his basinette... and now he can spread out in his cot. He has a mobile to look at which he loves.

The basinette was great for us as his bedroom is at the end of our house... and during this cold winter I hate getting up twice during the night/morning to get him out of bed. But I found that I have slept so much better myself since he is in his room. I don't stir at every little move he makes. Yet I do hear him (on his monitor) whenever he wakes up and lets us know.
