How long did your baby sleep in your room?
in Baby
Hi there
I'm only 14 weeks lol so planning well ahead!
I had always assumed that the baby should go straight into its own room when it is born.
However my friend who has 2 Lo's said she kept one in with her until 6months and one until 9 months.
I thought that it would be best to get the baby used to their own room staright away, and as it is next door to our room there would be no problem getting up in the night to feed.
I was just wondering what other people did, and what you would advise really.
Any thoughts gratefully received thanks

We had a video monitor so I could always see her and I checked on her loads too!

You have to do what is right for you! I personally think that if you put them in their own room when they are little it is easier than moving them out when they are older. Once they are older they will be more aware of what is going on.
Congrats on the bump!

Good Luck!
i wouldnt put them in straight away though i think in those early days they need to be close to you and you will be up quite often in the night whether your breast or bottle feeding so its much easier for you to have your lo close by.

I can see there is a big range of ages so I'll play it by ear. I think my husband will be going back to work after four weeks, so it may be that's the time to move baby but we'll wait and see how we feel.
Thanks again x
congrats!
Louise went into her own room at 5 1/2 months, that was what was right for us. I wanted her close by us when she ws little and it was easier for feeding. But, I think we did disturb her as she has mostly slept better in her own room.

my lo is 10wks and im gonna buy a movement sensor b4 i put him in his cot, hes nearly outgrown his moses basket so not long now!!
Would of moved him out sooner but it was much easier giving him the night feeds... however he slept much better when he went into his own room!x
When we have another baby i think that i will put them straight into there own room, this is against governments advise, but also Erin used to wake herself up in her moses basket because she had 'start reflex' (sp) and she used to hit her hands on the sides of the basket and wake up.
PS it is advised that babies sleep in the same room as mom til 6 months. But sometimes this just doesnt work.
