My dd is 19 weeks and hit the sleep regression a few weeks ago. She goes down at 6.30pm (we have tried later but she got overtired and was worse) and sleeps great until we come bed. Our bed is pretty creaky and dh tosses and turns a bit and now because so tired he's snoring. All the noise keeps waking dd up and then she needs settling. Shes waking up every 30 mins sometimes more and its killing me. Sometimes she's hungry but definitely more times has just been woken up by us. She exclusively bf and won't settle for dh so we can't take turns.
We have spoken about moving her into her own room but I'm just a little worried as she's not 6 months yet, it's next door, we would keep the doors open and I have a video monitor I would have on her.
What age did you move your lo into their own room?
 
Think my lo was about 5months(20weeks) my oh rli snores and would always wake him up. He would take some time settling and would only.go to sleep for me. My oh's snoring would rli irritate ne also so could understand why my lo needed to go in his own room. I'm an extremely light sleeper and we had a heart monitor. We will be getting the video monitor this time.
 
We moved Micah to his own room at 13 weeks, it was the best thing we did! It was a similar situation, the room next door with doors open and co angelcare monitor. We all slept better from that point on.
 
We moved DD a couple of days before she turned 6 months, solely because she learned to pull up to standing, meaning she could have tipped herself out of her co-sleeper crib. It's made absolutely no difference to her sleeping (it's been shocking since the 4 month regression) and she ends up in our bed or in the spare room with me by 1am at the latest, but she was never really disturbed by us in the night anyway, she's very good at disturbing her sleep all by herself, lol.
 
Mine were 21 months (due to previously being in a 1 bedroom house) and 6 months old. I don't think I'd be uncomfortable doing it at 19 weeks. :)
 
DD was 3 days (after 3 days of no sleep and just watching her :dohh::blush:) and DS was about 11 weeks as he outgrew his crib. DS and DD share a room though :)
 
My oldest moved at 11 weeks, because she had outgrown the Moses basket. This time we've got a cosleeper crib, which is bigger than the Moses basket, plus a smaller baby! So I expect this one to be in with us for a bit longer. She'll probably move before six months, though.
 
6mo for DD, 5mo for DS. We just all need our space tbh.
 
Thanks ladies I feel a bit better about making the move now, thought I might be the only one who moved baby before 6 months. Feel less guilty about it now, hopefully it will help her sleep but I'm sure the next few nights for me will be shocking as i just stare at the monitor!
 
We moved DS at 5 months. He was a premie so he was just short of 4 months corrected when he moved. I'm a very light sleeper. We all slept better afterwards with the move.
 
I moved my son over to his crib around 3 months because he was really restless in the bassinet and not sleeping well. He transitioned to his crib and own room really well and didn't seem to have any issues.
 
12 months, but she's a heavy sleeper and we didn't have issues with her waking up at night. Hubby was also gone from 5 weeks to 11 months, so I liked having the company! (I still check on her several times at night :blush:)
 
I haven't. I'm waiting for her to be ready on her own. She's 2 years and 7 months.
 
I love the idea of co-sleeping full time, but my kids (and I) have all had much better sleep in their own beds.

With DS (formula fed), he was in his crib, in his own room, by the time he started STTN (5-6 weeks).

With DD1, I kept her in my room for 4 months (she was EBF and it was just easier). She was a terrible sleeper, and would wake constantly in bed with me.

Now with DD2 (combi-fed), she co-slept for a few weeks, but has truly been an incredible sleeper from day one. Once she was a few weeks old, she was sleeping 5-6 hour stretches and I moved her to her crib. She's 3 months old now and sleeps for 9-11 hour stretches, wakes up to nurse, and then I bring her back to bed with me if everyone else in the house is still asleep. I generally get an extra 1-2 hours out of her after I bring her to my bed.
 
I haven't yet, she's 10 months. I said when I was pregnant that I would keep her in bed with me until at least 1 years old and I'm sticking with it. I'm not sure how I'll feel when she's 1, I'm dreading it but I'm getting her room ready for when I'm ready to move her. I'm single though and she sleeps 7:30/8 - 7:30/8 so we all get a great sleep.
 
We were going to do it at 6 months, but my DD got a cold then, so we waited until 7 months.
 
DS was 6 months 2 weeks old... we had to move the wardrobe out to fit the cotbed in our room!!! xxx
 
My daughter was in her own room a week before she turned 6 months, she had been sleeping thru long before then. For my second i swore I'd do it as soon as he started sleeping thru. But he must have sensed this because he is 8 months next week and refuses to sleep for the whole night! (He has maybe 5 times?) he still wakes for a bottle and I'm too lazy to go across the hall to feed him!
