Still sleeping in same room as baby

Is anyone still sleeping in the same room as baby? My little girl is 9 months and my partner wants us to move out of her room (we kept the guest bed in her nursery in the hopes that it would be easier to transition us out of the room than move her rooms) but I feel really sad that this time of our lives is coming to an end. I don’t really feel ready to leave her yet. Also for those who are in their own rooms, is anyone else using an owlet monitor? Do you just leave the app open all night on your phone so you’ll hear if baby wakes up? I’ve been worried about this for when the time comes.

Our 8 month old is still with us as living at my parents x

My girls still with me, i have her cot next to my bed with one side off. She still wakes 2-3 times a night so this way i feed her laying down and go back to sleep. Im not getting up into another room to do it😂 plus im not ready to have her in another room yet

We’ve only just moved our 9 month old and she sleeps soooo much better now in her own space. Have gone from 2-3 wake ups to 0-1. We just keep our monitor on all night but it’s super bright haha but I sleep with an eye mask. You can put the screen to sleep but I do wake up to check on her naturally every few hours

He’s still with us but I have kept him with us for as long as possible as my 3 year old still won’t sleep through the night and I would like to get some sleep rather than bounce between three rooms all night. Just painted his nursery last weekend and getting up curtains this weekend so that we can attempt sticking him in his own room.

My 8 month old has had her own room since about 16th December (we moved house on the 13th December). We have a basic audio baby monitor in her room with the speaker bit downstairs for when we're not in our room. We moved from a studio apartment and I think all of us were glad to be able to have our own space. It took a few nights of constant wakes before she eventually settled. She now wakes 2 times for a feed (average) and 4 or 5 times for a cuddle (I think this is mostly to make sure we're still there for her). Take the move at your own pace to save you from extreme anxiety, for us it was best to go 'hey you have your own room now bye' but boy does it make a difference

Our boy is in his own room and has been on and off since around 7 months (he came back in for a couple of weeks whilst he was sick). We use the owlet and I just keep it open all night on loud. It picks up noise pretty well

My baby is still in my bed and his room doesn’t exist yet so he will continue to be in with us (and hopefully spending an increasing amount of time in his sidecar cot) until his room is created.

Mine sleeps in the bed with me half the night. We tried putting her in her own room and it went from 1 to 2 night wakes to 12 (we were also trying to stop co sleeping which was getting better while in the room with us)

Our son is still in our room in his cot and we’re planning to move him to his own room when he’s around a year old, I have wild anxiety though and got upset when he moved from the next to me to his cot which is like a metre away from our bed 😅

Naps in her room. It’s only been done since new year. We tried her in her room on the 3rd Jan over night but she was ill so had her back in with me (we’ve a space saving cot in my room). Last night / she did the full night in her room ~ but woke at 5:46 as she had a dirty nappy.

@Emma felt like I was in an airport all night with the brightness from mine!

My first two were in our room till 2.5 or 2. We have a bigger house now but I’m not give an entire room to a baby and she’s not sharing with her siblings till she’s more robust. Also I refuse to be walking around at night when they wake up

@Kierrah the late night sleep walks are defo a killer. One of these days ima fall down the stairs getting to my little girls room 😅

Our 8m old sleeps in our room sometimes in her cot and other times co sleeping x

We’re having to keep our girl in with us until she’s nearly 2! I have a 7 year old step daughter with ADHD and unfortunately her sleep patterns and behaviours mean we can’t have baby share a room with her. Our mortgage renewal is up in March 2026 so will be moving into a 3 bed then when she’ll be nearly 2 xx
