We moved her to her own room at 9 months when we sold our one bedroom condo. We all slept infinitely better then! She wasn't a great sleeper in the beginning, but I don't think it would have mattered where she was. By about month 6, she started to realize we were right there and was a nightmare to get back to sleep during night wakings! With our second, we moved her at 4 months.

We had a nursery from day one BUT we also had a full sized bed in there, so for the first year, more or less, at least 2 of us were in that room every night. Sometimes it was the three of us.

I still cosleep with my 4 year old, I tell you this to answer that sleeping alone will come on his terms.

She was in our room until 1.5 years old. We had a one bedroom. We would have moved her out sooner if we could!

I think around 16 months? We got her a floor bed and baby proofed her room.

At about 8 months. That's just when it made sense. Her room wasn't fully set up before then, and she never used it, so it didn't matter. Now we're having another, and we won't move her down to share that room until she's old enough to share a bed with her sister. She'll sleep in a crib next to my bed, and then I'll convert my walk in closet to a little sleeping space for her later.

Our pre-baby plan was to keep LO in a bassinet or the mini crib in our room (but not to bed share) until he was 1. That was the plan due to the decreased SIDS risk for babies who room share but not bed share for at least the first year.

2.5 weeks in, baby has bed shared with us every night. He strongly prefers skin-to-skin contact to sleep, and I usually fall asleep during nursing. Given those things, I have no idea how to use a separate sleep space for him.
