we only have a one bedroom at the moment so our baby's crib will be in our room and she will sleep in her crib from day one when we get home.
My nephew started sleeping in his crib when he was about a month old.. I think the longer you put it off the harder it becomes for them to adjust to it.

charlie and olive have always slept in their cribs in their own rooms, but we've always had a bed in their rooms as well where i could sleep!

every baby is different so it's hard to say when you should make the transition. can you ease into it by letting her sleep in her bassinet in her room?

We moved LO at 3 months- both he and I sleep better when we're not together!
I think babies start to have more memory around 4 months, so I've heard a lot of people say they want to move them before then.
That said, my friends who co-slept for longer than that, and moved their kids out of their bed/room when they felt like they were developmentally ready for it, said they really didn't have any problems with it.
I do think the people who had easy transitions were more likely to wait on cues from their kids as to when would be a good time to transition, as opposed to people who said "baby can co-sleep till age 1, and then must be out of our room, regardless of what else is going on with him/her!"

Nine weeks. She had been in the pack and play in our room up until that point. At nine weeks I returned to work and she started daycare. At daycare she sleeps in a crib. The pack and play is very crib-like with the addition of a soothing vibration (which we used everytime we put her down). I decided that we needed to take away the vibration since she wouldn't have it at daycare.

We all seem to sleep a bit better now. We have a video monitor that I keep on through the night so I can always see her and hear her.

She's never slept in our bed, which probably made the transition to her crib/room easier for all of us.

I would say move once current situation is no longer working well for both baby and parents. If everyone's happy now, why change?

LM still cosleeps with us at 9 months. When we tried transitioning her to a crib a little over a month a go, she just wasn't having it. I think we've waited too long and she just relies on our physical presence for comfort and to fall asleep.

With my son we co-slept due to colic, that was my worst mistake. He stayed in my bed until he was 4 years old, transitioning to big boy bed was the most traumatic thing for me (even in the middle of a nasty divorce, it was worse). Eventually he stayed in his bed, but I will never forget how awful it was!

So Maddy is in her crib at night, we started 2 weeks ago and she'll be 8 weeks on Sunday. When my husband is out town I let her sleep with me, but no more than 2 nights in a row. She was super easy to put in her crib.

After day 2. I appreciated her in her own room. For the 2 days she was in our room I woke at every little noise. So it really helps my sleep. I also think she enjoys her room. There is so much sensory stuff we put in there she enjoys looking at it.

I'm reviving this thread because I'm interested in what newer members have done or are doing! I feel like there are conflicting messages out there - 4 months is when babies can start sleeping through the night, and before they can become too set in their ways, but recommendations regarding SIDS say that babies should sleep near Mom & Dad for the first 6 months. Just interested in what everyone has done or will do!

We moved LO at 6 months - the bassinette was getting too small! No real issues with it but LO had been sleeping through from 4 weeks.

We're moving when the baby is 4 months old. Our plan is to set up a nursery at that point and then transition her to a crib. We'll see how well we follow that plan when the time comes though...

We moved LO to his room in a bassinet when he was a month old. When he was two months old we transitioned him to his crib and he had no complaints. He still naps in his bouncy chair, though.
