When did you move your little one into their own room?

NHS recommend at least 6 months but obviously you can keep him in with you as long as you feel is best!

You can have both in the same room if you have the space. But be warned that the new baby can mess up older babies sleep routine. Maybe look to having one parent with each kid?

@Sydney I was thinking this, I’ve set up a nursery in the spare room so either of us could go in with either of the little ones while the other stays in the main room with the other, and then when the littlest is old enough maybe they can keep each other company and go in together and my partner and I can reunite 😂 I just wasn’t sure if I was being overbearing, I realised it’s definitely me, I feel sad at the idea of being without my little boy, I’m so needy 😂 @Tierney I didn’t realise it was 6 months, I wonder if with my little girl I’d feel ready to put them together around then 🤔 back in my parents day they put my sisters and I in our own rooms from about 2 months so they definitely don’t get it 😂

Technically hadn’t moved into her own room as I’m currently sleeping in the spare bed in her room as I can’t cope with my husband’s snoring (he’s just been diagnosed with sleep apnea) so I’m in her room with her and my newborn she’s 1 and I’m pretty sure she would sleep through an earthquake 😅

@Lor I would swap each parent between the rooms. You’ll likely be with newborn more to start

My daughter went into her own room at 14 months, it took 3 nights to get used to it

My first was about 5 months, we’d been travelling a lot and staying in different places so just didn’t set the next to me cot back up when we got home. Prob will do the same with this one although he’s smaller so might last longer in the next to me. My eldest had also stopped night feeds by then which made my life easier when he was in his own room

5 months for both kids.

Talk to your partner. He might not want to be in separate rooms so you’ll need to figure that out. But also talk to your babies doctor. What do they recommend for kids with apnea because that might change everything

We tried at 6 months and he did good for a few weeks but now we bed share as I was up every 20 minutes with him for weeks. I think just do whatever works for you guys!❤️

Our 2 year old is still in with us as well as our 7month old. No plans to move either yet!

7 months

All of my kids who are tots sleep in the room with us at night , my son who is 3 has nap time in his room only at this time. In our old house which was much smaller then our current home our rooms were right next to each other on the same level so he’d sleep in his room at 1 at night sometimes however this home it’s much larger , his room is around 5 corners & upstairs so I don’t personally feel comfortable with him sleeping upstairs at nights as of yet particularly when I look at how common stair falls are for children under 5 ad to this if he woke up he’d be let off in the part of our home that he’s never usually in/ our formal area where there are many things that my littles are not to touch. He’s also terrified of the dark & I like being right there to sooth him when he rises crying in the middle of the night. 💕with my girls who are 1 I’m not sure of when they’ll move to their shared room at night since I still wake up usually 4 plus times per night to nurse each on demand.

My husband & I are fine with them being in the room with us as night now we aren’t into cio /forcing certain things on our littles we take a more natural oriented approach to most things in our home with our littles & my son is adamant presently about being in the room with his mommy/ daddy & sissos 🥰 but I imagine that my twin girls may move -since it’s two of them when I stop nursing because I’m not trotting upstairs 5 plus times at night 🫠which at time I’m not too sure of when that will be since I appreciate/ value it’s benefits nursing / cuddling on demand -and absolutely love doing it 💕💕

@Gabrielle they’ve actually not said anything about that but we’re awaiting a sleep study! I know it’s not a serious case but they might eventually want to remove his adenoids to make him more comfortable x

Thank you everyone it’s actually great to see all the different approaches and options! I’d honestly have them both in with me but think that’ll disturb my eldest too much and I don’t need a sleep deprived toddler on my hands with a newborn! Think i’ll just try it all and see what works 😂🩷

We moved him between 6 and 9 months, I honestly can’t remember when. He sleeps so much better. We kept waking him up when he was in with us past a certain point.

2 months. She was across the hall from us so it wasn’t far.

6-7 months , he’s now 5 years old. I have a 2 month old and possibly will be moving him around 6-7 months (if possible).

My first was 8 months and is now 5 and my youngest just went into her own room at 6 months x

Daughter was 2.5yrs when we moved house and she was able to have her own room x

I think at 3 years old.

6 months

With my first born 6 months as he was sleeping right through, 9 month old is still in our room, hoping to move soon but she’s been waking up a lot at night it’s easier to have her with us

We sleep together with my 3 year old and 4 month old. I tried to sleep separately whit my youngest when she was a newborn and leave my toddler with my husband, but my husband sleeps so deep that he did not wake up when my toddler wanted water or if he was crying for some reason. So I had to go back and now it is the 4 of us with no plans of separating anytime soon.

3 months because he started sleeping through

Little girl was 8months. Baby boy is nearly 1 and still in with us as we've only got a two bed. Waiting to move to a 3 bed soon.

@Marina how do you and the little ones sleep being all together? X

Not apnea but our son had a nicu stay and lung concerns when he was born. We got an owlet sock and it has been amazing for my peace of mind. They are pricy but You can get a prescription from your pediatrician and possibly get it covered by insurance or use HSA funds if you have them. If there were any concern about your son’s breathing/ oxygen levels you would be alerted. That might make you more confident moving him into his own room! Feel free to message if you have any questions ❤️

@Rachael I actually have one but haven’t used it in months as every time he holds his breath I wake up and give him a little poke but actually that’s a great shout i’m sure that’d make me feel much better if he were to go in the other room! Just have to hope he’ll keep it on he whips off his socks whenever he can 😂 x

Just after his first birthday, but only because his little sister was due 3 months after. I wasn’t ready🥹
