How old was your LO when you moved them out of your room and into their own room? How did you decide when to do this/what was your reasoning?
Thanks!

A month. His nursery was right next door and he was a loud grunty sleeper and we all slept better once he was in his own room

11/12 weeks... even though we'd planned on six months. This worked well for all of us!

We moved him out of our room at around 6 weeks because he was the loudest sleeper ever! He would make dinosaur grunting noises from 4 am onwards even though he was still sleeping.

5-6 months. when they were reliably sleeping 12 hrs straight at night. they share a room, so had to make sure LO#2 was sleeping around the same # of hours as his older brother before we could move them in together!

We moved her around 9 months. We were always planning on keeping her in our room, in her own crib until 6 months (Health Canada's recommendation), but when she hit 6 months, we were going to be travelling to visit family, so we didn't want to transition her to her own room and then travel, and then come back (too much transitioning). Then over the summer we spent a lot of time going back and forth at my parent's place where most of the time we were all sharing a room anyways, so we opted to wait till we were back at our place a decently long stretch to minimize disruption.

2 weeks. We moved her bassinet into her own room and we all slept sooooooo much better. Next baby will go right into the nursery!

3.5 months. I couldn't take the grunting and slamming her legs down on the PNP mattress anymore!

We moved him into his crib in his room at 6 months. We had several nights between 6-9 months where he would sleep in our bed for various reasons. By about 10 months he was exclusively in his crib.

2.5 weeks. She kept waking us up with her grunting and snoring and vice versa. Everyone slept better once she moved into her nursery!

Other- she is still in our room at 13 months and counting.
Eta: oops! I didn't see the option for after 1 year! Or maybe you added it?

7 weeks. She was SUCH a loud sleeper, and DH was back at work and needed more rest. Everyone slept better after the move.

Five months. She was starting to plank and I was worried she'd figure out how to pull up on the cosleeper.
The transition was easy.

5.5 months. He had reflux and was sleeping in the RnP until we transitioned him to his crib. I was too nervous to move him before then because his bedroom is on a different floor.

I moved into her room with her from about 3 weeks to 7 or 8 weeks. It just wasn't working to have her in our room so I put our extra mattress on her floor and slept there. She and I usually ended up cosleeping for at least part of the night and I had it set up so we could do that safely -- I didn't feel safe with DH in the bed (he's a very heavy sleeper). Once she was about two months old, she started sleeping in the crib and I hot to go back to my own bed!

He's still in our room (his crib) at 8 months. He's been out of his RnP since 5 months, but I like him being in our room

5-6 months. She was already napping in her crib for a couple of weeks and started sleeping poorly in the rock and play so we moved her.

They are 10 weeks and they've slept in the nursery twice now. Not sure yet if it's a permanent move. I was doing most of the middle of the night stuff in the nursery, so we decided to try it out.

He slept in the cosleeper in our room until about 7 months. His sleep was getting worse but he was doing well napping in his crib, so I started to think that maybe being right next to us at night was preventing him from getting good sleep. Also, his room is darker than ours. I was in denial and didn't want to move him because I love having him right next to me, but I'm so glad I just sucked it up and moved him into his room! We're all sleeping better and it feels kind of nice to have my room back.

2 weeks for DS1 and 2 months for DS2. Both slept better in their own rooms.

Around 1 month. Our room is tiiiiiny and it was really right w the bassinet in there.i was also nursing in the nursery and she'd wake up wwhen I walked down the hallway w her in the motn

6 months. We sleep trained as well at that time. I really believe we could have moved her much sooner and our lives would have been so much better!

Four days! LO's noises made me incredibly anxious so out she went
We have however been part time bedsharing in her room since she was 6-7 months old (now 21 months old).

Pretty early on. Maybe 2 or 3 weeks? maybe even earlier? We did NOT sleep well with him in our room. No one was happy.
cantaloupe / 6687 posts
I planned on a few months but we moved her out around 2 weeks. She just slept in the rock and play in our room and it was just as easy having her sleep in it in her room down the hall

8 weeks! We put her RNP in her room for a week, then transferred her to her crib.

Around 7 months, but I would have loved to do it sooner had circumstanced allowed.

7 months (wanted at least 6 month per the NZ recommendations) only moved her at 7 months because dh's alarm was waking her each morning, otherwise would have kept her in our room longer. Her room was right beside ours thankfully which made the transition easier for me!

4.5 months. He was a terrible sleeper and very loud, but we had a friend lose her 3 month old to SIDS when I was 30 weeks pregnant and I was so so paranoid. I knew I wouldn't move him until closer to 5.

8 weeks. We traveled two weekends in a row and decided to get all the transition out of the way at once. It didn't phase him one bit, although I still miss him sometimes. It was nice getting our space back, especially once LO started going to bed an hour or two before we did.

D was 5 months. M was almost 3.
For M, we got tired of having to keep the light off and tv down in our room. His room isn't far, so it didn't make much of a difference for him.

Somewhere between 5.5-6 months. We co-bedded until then.

@Greentea: same here, 13 months and counting. I'm so used to sleeping next to my little boo, I don't even know how we're going to make the transition!
