We started to move Colton to his own room recently. The only things I suggest:
make sure you have a good bedtime routine. I give Colton a bath everynight and within the hour he is getting sleepy and ready for bed.
Also, dont just put him in there because "its bedtime" wait until he is tired. Colton normally starts wanting a cuddle, and will start closing/rubbing his eyes, so I know thats when he is tired. It results in alot less crying, well, did for us anyway. Colton never cried for more than 30 minutes, and honestly, I dont think I could have dealt with it much longer than that.
Hope it goes smoothly for you.
