My son is 7 months old and some time for naps he sleeps in his room in is crib but at night......he is in our bedroom in his playpen. I have read on my favorite childcare website Baby Center [ www.babycenter.com ] that doctors say that baby's can sleep in there own room as of the first night home from the hospital. Also, that after 6 months you do not need to use a baby monitor. That is what the experts say but..........
I have tried putting him in his own room at night and I freak out. Mind you I am very deep sleeper, my husband usually has to wake me up for the baby. So I am paranoid. My husband on the other hand has no problem with letting him sleep in his room as long as the monitir is on. SO pretty much there is a difference of opionion.
This is what I think, has your child had any problems sleeping? has your child given you any reason to give you cause for alarm? If No, then the answers is when YOU are ready. You need to be able to get a full nights rest [or you know the best amount you can get] without worrying about your little one.
If yes, wait until those problems resolve themselves first.
But, a litte unsolicitated parental advice that I am just learning......The longer you wait the worse it is going to be. Not just for you but also for your little ones. Babies are learning so much everyday at night they want to sleep where they are comfortable and change leads to long hours of crying, sometimes.
Just be prepared for whatever you chose to do. Look at the website if you get frustrated, they have hundreds of articles when it comes to children and babies sleeping,eating, dressing, walking,teething, gas problems, etc. and where and how on those things.
Good luck.

My daughter has been in her very own room ever in view that we offered her residing house from the hospital at 2 days previous. We merely have a small mattress room so there became into no room for her to sleep in there. I additionally could not sleep good together with her being so close. each and every little noise that she made could wake me up and he or she became into an extremely noisy sleeper. I even have an extremely sturdy toddler computer screen that i take advantage of so i will pay attention her if she desires me. i think of having her in her very own room has made her a extra valuable sleeper (she has slept by using in view that 6 weeks, no waking for foodstuff.) and me a happier mummy reason i'm getting a sturdy nights sleep. do exactly regardless of feels suitable to you. Your son enable you to be attentive to whilst he's in a position to bypass out of your room.

Totally up to you.
Mine slept in her crib immediately. In the first 3-weeks she was home I kept her with me after she nursed in the middle of the night a few times (mostly because I was too tired or sore from my c-section to get up and take her back to bed) but then I always slept poorly worrying about her being there.
She looked terribly tiny in her big crib those first few days, but she was swaddled and placed on a sleep positioner so we knew she was safe and sound and we all got used to it.
We didn't use a bassinet or anything other than her crib because we didn't want to have to undo letting her sleep somewhere else and get her used to her crib later.
She's turning one in 2 weeks and since those first 3-weeks she has woken up during the night 9 times. We must've been doing something right!!
Take care!

I like your question. My husband's niece slept in her own room from the day they brought her home, and I know a girl through my husband's unit who's bf thinks baby needs to sleep in her (mom's) bed for 18 months (bf is away from home right now, so it's easy for *him* to say). I'll have mine in a cradle for a couple months, but I guess when she graduates to her own room will depend on when I'm comfortable enough and she'll actually sleep in the big crib. Certainly don't keep them in a bassinet or cradle when they start squirming themselves into sitting positions, safety reasons.

I put mine in a crib in her own room once she was sleeping most the way through the night (about 6 months old).
Any earlier, and I would have inconvenienced myself by having to go downstairs twice in the middle of the night to nurse her. Any later, and I would have risked her toppling out of her bassinet - she started pulling herself around on her arms around that age). Putting her in a crib was safer for her at that point.

That is up to you and your partener. I put my little one on her own at 2 months when she was sleeping through the night but I use a monitor just in case.

My oldest daughter (now 2) didn't sleep in her bedroom till she was about 6months. I just didn't feel comfortable not having her near me. When she was too big for her cradle, we moved her into her room where her crib was already set up. Its totally up to you when to move them.

Whenever you, your partener, and your baby agree the time is right. Afterall what is right for one baby isn't right for another and every family is different.
