Has anyone moved their baby into their own room?

I need some hope (lol) that it works. Saturday night we moved baby in to his own room, took a while to settle him but when he did he slept for a good period woke for feed then slept again for a good period. Last night was horrific, he would not settle for more than 30 minutes would wake up crying left him for 5 to see if he would self soothe did not so I would go in hold him until he feel asleep then put him back down. He then woke after 30 minutes this went out from 12:30 to 4:00am to the point we tried him back in his next to me again wouldn't settle so put him in bed whereby he slept until 8:30. I need to know transitioning to their own room does work and what methods do people use? My current method is rocking him to sleep then putting him in his cot

We moved ours, first week was a bit like this, second week we did Ferber method to sleep train a bit and she's slept like a dream since, just one wake a night. She puts herself to sleep in the cot now.

We're trying to get ours used to the room by having them take their naps in there whilst we sit next to the cot. LO is poorly, teething and going through regression atm so it feels silly to put them in their own room right now

I've had her in the cot for some naps, and I've started a routine of bath, bottle and book and then bed so I'm hoping when I move her to her own room in a few days she'll sleep ok 🤞🏻 Following for any tips!

Haven’t moved my 6 month old yet but with my daughter who is now 3, we started off doing day time naps in her new room and then moved to day and night. First week or so was tough but then she was fine. I personally wouldn’t do any cry it out… I think it’s better to stay with baby but ‘do less’ to settle them. E.g instead of standing rocking to sleep, sit and bum pats and then you can transition to cot settling with bum pats and so on. I did this with my daughter and she slept a dream independently without having to leave her to cry and dealing with night wake ups.
