I feel real confortable with him in the room, I am nursing so he still wakes up at night, I don't really want him to be in another room but my husband thinks it's a good idea ( he is running out of room in his cradle)what about putting the crib in the room, is that a bad idea.

That's what we did. She was in a cradle right next to our bed for 4 months and then she slept in her cribon the opposite side of our room until she was 6 months, then We moved her to her own room. It worked out for us.

My son stopped sleeping in his cradle at about that age, but he was still in our bedroom.
He was in a pack n play for a while, but now that we've moved, I have a bigger bedroom and his whole crib is in there. He is 8 months old, and even though I'm no longer breastfeeding, he still wakes up at night occasionally. He would probably be in his own room, but it is a 1 bedroom apartment.
I have a niece who is 11 months old, and she has been sleeping in her own room since she was about 3 months old.
Definately get him out of the cradle soon, before he starts trying to sit up, because that is an accident waiting to happen. Otherwise, where he sleeps then is a personal preferance.

My son was about 4 months when we started to put him a crib in his own bed because we moved in to a bigger house I had to stop breast feeding but he took to it very well I don't think you will have a problem if he is already sleeping through the night in his own bed. If he is growing out of the cradle it wouldn't be a problem to move him to a crib just need the bumpers and the neat contraption of padding that goes on his side so he doesn't roll around to much, and a monitor so you are sure you here him when he wake up wanting to feed.

I had my first in a crib in my room for a while. I think I waited too long to put him in his own room, because as a toddler he kept coming in my room wanting to sleep with me. With my second child, I had her in her own room at 3 days old. She has never given me a problem with going to bed and staying in her own room. I also think that having a baby in the room hurts romance. I am now expecting, and think that I will keep a bassinet in the room for a few weeks and then move the baby to a crib in his/her own room. In the end, there is no right or wrong answer. Just what is best for your family.
Good Luck!

You can put the crib in your room but I will tell you this. It wil be hard to break when you are ready to. I say get a good glider chair and move the crib into a different room

We put our son in his crib around 3 1/2 months. It's really whenever you feel most comfortable. We moved him out of his cradle when he got to where he'd hit the sides of it because he was too big. Don't let it get to that point!

I have had three children. I also nursed all of them. Each of them slept in their bassonetts in my room until they were four months old. At four months I had them start sleeping in thier cribs in their room. I think your husband should allow you this time. If you have a "cut off date" maybe he will feel better about it.
Good luck.

I put my son in his own room at 1-1/2 weeks old...he started sleeping through the night at 2-1/2 weeks...he is now 2 and will only sleep in his bed. He goes down at 8pm and wakes up at about 7:30 am. I am a firm believer in putting them in their own beds at the beginning. You are very attuned to your child,and you will hear them.

my son slept in his bassinet in my room until he was 3 months. it was hard switching him to another room away from me. but it was one of the best things i did. if he's running out of room, then now would be a good time. but don't do it until you are ready for him to be in a room by hisself - no matter what anyone tells you - your his mommy, you make the best choices for him. if you're not ready, then go ahead and move the crib in. just move him out by the time he's 6 months. if you wait too long, it will be a struggle.

I think that now is a good time since he will probably be sitting up on his own soon. You want to get him used to his crib before you absolutley have to put him in there. Good luck!
