We transitioned her to her own bed at eight weeks, but we still occasionally bed-share when traveling or if I fall asleep while she is nursing.

her own bed in our room from 6 - 9 months, her own room at 10 months. It was awesome. I still remember how free I felt to be able to sit in bed and read, walk in and out of my room after 7:00, have sex in my bed, and so on.
I loved co sleeping, but I love having our own spaces, too.

@Vegmama: for what its worth, we had to do sleep lady shuffle sleep training to get her in her own bed, but there was no issue moving her to a new room. her sleep instantly improved, too.

I did it cold turkey at 6 months and crib transitioned and sleep trained all at once. She usually gets up anywhere between 4:00-5:30 and I'll bring her in bed with me then.

@Vegmama: Happily none whatsoever! We're not big CIO fans (although every situation is different - just didn't seem to work well for C) so we were relieved that wasn't necessary. We did get a Merlin's Magic sleepsuit for him during that transition and I think it helped. He would have a few minutes of fussiness each night for a couple of days and then he stopped altogether and bed time was no big deal. A couple weeks later he was sleeping 12 hours straight! It was the best move for him at that time.

My son went from a bassinet in our room to the bassinet in his room to his crib over the space of a couple of weeks. We originally moved him unexpectedly at 13 weeks, because he had a diaper explosion all over our bed and we had to dry clean our duvet and mattress cover, so we had to sleep in the guest room...we figured since we were moving rooms anyway we might as well put him in his nursery. About 2 weeks later we put him in his crib. The transition was totally seamless for him, not so much for me! The first couple of nights I was basically glued to the monitor. It got much better about 3-4 nights in, and now its great!

7 months and still cosleeping. Wishing she would sleep in a crib but DS is still in his crib and I'm not ready to move him to a bed.

Eight months and it was terrible. We moved, put him in a new room and a new bed in the span of two days. His sleep went to hell for months. Don't do that.

5.5 months and he went from a park and play to his crib. It went great! I was definitely more upset about it than he was.
