When did u put baby in own room/cot?
I have a 4 month little girl who goes to bed around 8pm and sleep until around 6-7am which I think is good. Trouble is like all babies she stirs thorugh the night and last night she was doing it every half hour or so quite noisily! Her crib is right next to me so my husband gets a better nights sleep (we've tried swapping places but I actually do like lying next to her!) My husband was also snoring his head off which did not help - lol!!
I've been thinking about putting her in her own room but am not sure if it is too early - most rec 6 months but I'm not sure I can last another 2.
What age did you put baby in their own room/cot and how did you do it - am I best to put her in her crib in her nursery to get used to the new room first or put her straight into her cotbed?
Any tips greatly appreciated thanks!

Would we need to have the monitor in our room to check on her thru the night...? Our room next to nursery so I'm sure we would here her cry out in the night. We mainly use the monitor for when we are downstairs after we've put her to bed.
I haven't got a monitor for him - never have had. I think Mums are on red alert anyway, the slighest wimper and you're awake, regardless of them being in another room.
I would say expect a couple of sleepless nights (that's you not the baby!) but after that you'll both get used to it.
You'll sleep better and feel better too....

Mia is almost 9 weeks old and the last few nights have been awful. I really think it is down to her being too big for moses basket. it doesnt sit even on the stand and she is managing to shuffle herself around as she can push off against the sides etc. i think we are going to put her in her own cot tonight. My mother has a travel cot which she sleeps in when we visit and she sleeps fine in it.
Fingers crossed we all sleep better tonight!
He is in the room next to us but we shut the door to keep the cat out so we have the monitor on all night - it does pick up his whimpering that we don't hear but thats probably becuase the door is shut
Won't be able to give him his own room yet as we live with my parents [still! Sob but i don't think i'll have a problem with doing so when our own place gets sorted out!
