We shared the living room for a few weeks and moved her into her own room at three weeks. We would have done it sooner but we didn't have her crib yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854576 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:19:50 +0000 BadgerMom 1854576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES!!! And sometimes more importantly, so did I! I wasn't waking up to his every grunt anymore, so I had more patience for the times he did really wake up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854527 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:02:01 +0000 loveisstrange 1854527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely, emphatically, yes. She started doing a 7 hour stretch at 2 weeks old after we moved her into her own room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854521 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:00:12 +0000 catomd00 1854521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Moved her at 4 months to her crib I her own room and didn't help or hurt her sleep. Makes it more annoying for me for the MOTN feedings though, but oh well! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854485 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 09:43:21 +0000 .twist. 1854485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tundra Daisy: haha awesome!

I'll report back tomorrow - would still like to hear anymore success stories though! :grin: </p> <p>Hurray he's in his crib for the first time - here's a pic lol :silly: </p> [attach=4067/14/nbn268.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854471 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 09:36:23 +0000 fairy 1854471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter moved into her own room at 9 months, but her sleep was always fine as long as she was in her own space (in the pack n play in our room), other than regressions. I think it helped me and my husband sleep better though since we didn't have to worry about waking her up any time we rolled over on our super creaky bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854467 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 09:36:03 +0000 MrsF 1854467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tundra Daisy: yay!

I'm excited about this now :grin: I'm in Australia and it's night time here .. I just took the leap and put him in his own room just then after reading everyone's replies! fingers crossed for a good night sleep! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854435 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 09:15:44 +0000 Tundra Daisy 1854435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Little Misters Mom: Nup he's in a hammock in our room at the moment and I'm thinking of moving him into a crib in his own room.. :silly: </p> <p>@mrsjyw: @Mrs. Sunshine: I think our LO might be more of an independent sleeper too - interesting how positive everyone has found it to be! </p> <p>@meredithNYC: I know what you mean! sometimes I wonder if I'm jumping up too soon.. but because he's right next to us feels weird to leave him! I think we may have more luck listening from a distance he he :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854407 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 08:59:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 1854407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She definitely slept a little better, but *I* slept a lot better! I was pretty good about not picking her up with every grunt and movement when she was in our room, but I would sit up and watch her to see if she was waking up or not. With her in the other room I could stay laying down in bed half asleep and listen or watch through the monitor. Plus I could move around and get comfortable in bed without disrupting her. And my fool of a husband occasionally set an alarm that woke her (I love him but nearly killed him those days!) </p> <p>So yes it was better but not that dramatically, but still just overall easier for all of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854402 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 08:54:32 +0000 MrsF 1854402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We all slept better with her in her own room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854399 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 08:53:31 +0000 autumnlove 1854399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854391 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 08:47:57 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1854391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. We kind of sleep trained at the same time but it's really nice not having them in your room. You can talk, read a book, watch tv, take a shower without waking them. I kinda wish we had moved our LO sooner. She gets super distracted now if we have to be in the room where she sleeps. She prefers to be alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854390 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 08:47:55 +0000 meredithNYC 1854390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tundra Daisy: I actually do think that a lot of parents inadvertently wake their sleeping babies because they (parents) are responding to every little sound, rather than waiting to see if the baby is really awake or just making the normal sounds that babies make while sleeping. </p> <p>My LO was about 3 months old when we moved her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854389 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 08:47:05 +0000 mrsjyw 1854389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. We all slept better.</p> <p>I wasn't freaking out over every breath and DS was and still is an independent, non-cuddly sleeper. He needed his own space!</p> <p>We moved him from the PNP next to me to his crib in his room at 11 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854388 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 08:47:01 +0000 Little Misters Mom 1854388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure if you are referring to moving them from their own crib in your room to another or to bed-sharing, but a study just released in the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics suggests that at the very least bed-sharing leads to significantly reduced sleep duration and quality. When we moved the baby from the bedside co-sleeper to his own room (at 8.5 weeks) we all slept much, much better.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24906032" rel="nofollow">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24906032</a></p> <p>"METHODS: Data for this study come from the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study conducted at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. A total of 55,831 mother reports of child sleep were used to estimate the stability and predictors of awakenings and short sleep.</p> <p>RESULTS: Nocturnal awakenings were frequent among 6-month-old children. Although there was an overall reduction in both sleep duration and nocturnal awakenings from 6 to 18 months, the chronicity of sleep problems was high and impacted by prior sleep behavior and sleeping arrangements. Bedsharing was an independent and graded predictor of nocturnal awakenings and short sleep duration, also after controlling for prior sleep. Breastfeeding was related to concurrent nocturnal awakening but was not negatively related to later nocturnal awakenings.</p> <p>CONCLUSIONS: Considering the chronicity of nocturnal awakening and its association with bedsharing, our findings support current recommendations of reducing bedsharing to improve sleep among infants." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854380 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 08:43:48 +0000 Tundra Daisy 1854380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ooo three yesses! I think that's what I wanted to hear.. I'll be a bit sad to move him though :silly: </p> <p>Do you guys think it's better because you don't wake to every noise they make? or do they just sleep more soundly because they prefer their own room?</p> <p>@meredithNYC: How old was your LO when you moved her? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854360 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 08:31:34 +0000 meredithNYC 1854360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, definitely. We ALL slept better when she was in her own room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854328 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 08:16:03 +0000 Jess1483 1854328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, for sure. We went from co-sleeping to crib around 4 months and it got much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854321 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 08:12:54 +0000 ValentineMommy 1854321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. Major yes. </p> <p>DS started STTN at 5 weeks old when we moved him into his room....before that he was up every 2 hours or so. He is much more comfortable in there and has STTN ever since (he's 18 months now) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-in-their-own-room#post-1854313 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 08:09:34 +0000 Tundra Daisy 1854313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking of moving our baby boy into his own room - mainly because I'm thinking this might help him sleep longer stretches?</p> <p>At the moment he's waking every 3 hours :sad: he's 3.5 months old so maybe it's just the start of the dreaded 4 month regression.. </p> <p>Did your LO sleep better when you moved them out of your room and into their own? :grin: </p>
