Thoughts on moving baby to nursery for all night sleep?

I have started this week putting my 10 month old in his nursery. I put up an air mattress right next to the crib and was there when he needed me. He first started waking up at 2 and multiple times snd each day got later. This morning he woke up at 6:15. I’ll move back to my bedroom but am very suprised by the outcome. He like yours does wake for his Binky so maybe the multiple will be nice to try
My baby has been sleeping in her nursery since 6 months. The first few nights I didn’t sleep because I was too busy watching the monitor. But I think we both sleep better now that we’re used to it. Your baby may sleep through the night more often without issue. And when she does wake up… soothing her back to bed won’t be that much work even if she’s in another room. It’s just part of momming. I think the earlier you move them, the easier it is. Once they’re a big kid… it will be really hard.
My baby’s been sleeping in her nursery from her 4 month sleep regression. We all sleep much better but I had trained myself to always take her to the nursery to nurse even from her bassinet days so she was really familiar with the space. I say go for it, but maybe start the transition with naps in the nursery or half nights so that it’s not a sudden shock? Good luck!
Can she put the pacifier back in her mouth if she finds it? If so, perhaps put multiple pacifiers (like 6+) in her crib so she is more likely to find it. Moving a 10 month old to the nursery will be a challenge in and of itself. She is already so used to you being in the room with her and she has developed object permanence/separation anxiety. Assuming you plan on having her sleep there eventually, the sooner you make that transition the easier it will be overall. In regards to the soothing part and getting her used to being in the other room and sleeping through the night, I would look into sleep strategies. Precious Little Sleep is a great resource!
