With DD1, we transitioned from her PnP (in our room) to her crib (in her room). It was no problem - both hers and our quality of sleep improved. However, yes, it also meant that I'd have to get up and go to her room to nurse her. It wasn't as bad as it seems. We did this when she was 3.5 months old.

Three months. I just went into her room when she would wake up hungry. Still do....

He was in our room until 5.5 mos because he had reflux and I was scared to move him to his room. We both slept better once we moved him though, so I wish I had done it a little earlier.

4.5 months and 3 months.

Somewhere between 5.5-6 months. We co-bedded until then. HE has a futon in his room (in couch position), so when he woke up hungry I would go in and feed him, usually (but not always) by snuggling us on the futon.

We moved her at 7 months....but she was sleeping 12 hr stretches overnight from 2.5 months onwards so I didn't have to worry about night time feelings.

we did it at a few weeks old. i couldn't sleep with the noise. he was still waking at least 3x to nurse, and i would just zombie walk over there and back.

5 days. After the first night home from the hospital, we knew no one was sleeping... we moved her as soon as the video monitor arrived from Amazon.

Even now, at 9 months, if we sleep in the same room my daughter wakes up 4-5x/night. Not okay.

Right around 2 months, and I just nursed him in the glider in his room. Getting up and down did suck, but wasn't too bad.

7 weeks. I would go into the nursery to nurse her. She was only waking a few times per night (maybe three?), but only one was at a ridiculous time. The rest were at 5am or later.

We waited 'till 6 months. I think we could have probably done it much sooner, but I was too attached. She spent the first 6 - 8 weeks in a pack and play in our room, and then we moved her crib into our room so she could have more space.

The transition to her room wasn't as bad as I expected. She actually slept much better and went from waking up 3x a night to just once (around 4AM). When it was time to nurse, DH would either go get her and bring her to me, or I would nurse her in the recliner in her room. It was really so much easier than I thought it was gonna be.

9 months...right from 6-8 months we were travelling a lot, so didn't want to transition then, and then we just didn't get around to disassembling and reassembling the crib!

At 7.5 weeks. She is a light sleeper too. I think the transition was good for her sleep. But it was and still is, work for me. When she wakes up (usually just 1x now), I go to her room, bring her back to nurse in my bed (just how I ended up preferring, and I could stay zombie-like), and then take her back to her room and put her in her crib. I've fed her in the glider in her room before, but I always feel cold and would rather be in my own bed. If I'm really tired, I just side-nurse and let her sleep the rest of the night/early morning in our bed with me.

We did it at 2 months when we moved from a 1br to a 2br. This changed absolutely nothing for us since DS was still waking up multiple times per night. When he was young, I would bring him into our room to nurse, then take him back to his room. As he got older, I nursed in his room. FWIW, I stopped night nursing at 1 year and would send in DH to put him back to sleep. He slept through the night starting just a few weeks after 1 year.

We did it at 8 weeks and it was nearly as bad as I was anticipating.

5 days! None of us were sleeping well - he'd wake every time my husband snored, and I'd wake every time he made a little noise. Moving him to his own room was SO much better.

With my first we transitioned at 6 months and I just did the zombie walk to his room a couple times a night until he started sleeping through at around 10 months. With this kiddo we tried at 6 months but I couldn't deal with getting up more than one time max. So we tried again every few weeks until at 8 months when he finally started to sleep until 4 am.

We transitioned K at 2 months. I had a routine down (diaper change, lotion, dim lights, sound machine, nursing, swaddle, kiss on forehead, put down) which I followed in our room when she slept in a bassinet next to our bed (DH slept in the guest room). At the time we moved her - she was sleeping approx 9:30-4am and 4am to 7am - with 30 minute nursing sessions when she woke.

When I was ready to transition her I simply did the same routine (we moved the sound machine to her room) in her room and put her in her crib. I was terrified and cried the first night but she was a champ - she followed her same routine like nothing had changed. That was 1 week ago and it has gone great - we had one rough night but I think it was a mini growth spurt - and now she is even sleeping for longer. Since she isn't in our room anymore I am starting to move her bedtime up so DH and I get a little more us time after she goes down - I'm also hoping she'll be on an 8pm-6am (ish) sleeping schedule by the time I start work Dec 2.

I was terrified (like I said) the first night, it was a similar fear to the first night we had her home from the hospital. I was a million times better the second night.

Good Luck!!!
