Debate in our household!

This is our first baby. Please tell me how long your little stayed sleeping in your room before going to a crib in their own room... my neighbor said 2 years! Which I said is rediculous, I'm thinking a few months? Help!

A full year is recommended to reduce SIDS risk because they can sync to their breathing to yours.

totally agree with you, i just put my 2 year old on his own bed to prepare for newborn, so far my toddler seems to like sleeping by himself

Agreed. My son has been in his crib since we came home. He is now 13 months and we have never had issues with him sleeping thru the night (except those annoying sleep regression stages)

I wouldn't care if I had one huge bedroom that I shared with my kiddos til they were like 10 😂 my son is 5 and has his mattress in my room right now. Only because my ex and I had a very bad break up it got physical infront of the kids unfortunately, I had to call the police and my son doesn't want to be alone at night cuz he's scared. Hopefully that willChange when we move. My 10mth olds crib is right next to my bed. My bed is a kid free zone though. I had planned on moving her to her own room at 1, but I'm down sizing to a 2bed room so she will prolly stay in my room for another year.

My daughter stayed in our bed the first two months then we moved her to her crib when she had a steadier sleep schedule. But go with the flow, dont feel pressured by others. If you want your baby with you or not with you, so be it. :) Good luck.

Mine varied. First one slept in our room till 6 months. Second one only lasted two weeks before she preferred her crib. Third one almost 16 months. But that's because a very close friend had a baby literally three days before we had our son. At seven months old, he died of asphyxiation (from a baby blanket), in his crib, which caused me to bring my son back to my room.

I did 3 months, one night she just decided she liked her crib and she slept in it from then on. She is 4 now I still let her sleep with me but I think its a bit different at this point lol

If I had the ability he would've been in his own room before 6 months. 2 is ridiculous in my opinion! Love my son to death but mom likes a little tiny bit of space!

I don't have experience. But as a soon to be single mom..I know I'll want her near by refuse to Co sleep. I'm assuming probably 6 months in bassinet at most until she goes to her crib, which isn't far away at all.
