Is your baby sleeping in their own room yet?

Question

Wondering when to start putting my LO in his own room? He currently sleeps in a bed side bassinet and I noticed he’s been waking up a lot more frequently… not sure if he’s out growing the bassinet, if sudden noises like my husband snoring are waking him (we have a noise machine we use but my husband can get loud…) or if maybe he isn’t comfortable on the hard bassinet “mattress”?  Wondering if any of you mamas have transitioned to putting your LO to sleep in their own room yet and if so how did you do it!
My son is also breast fed and used to sleep 4-6 hours for his first stretch of sleep at night, but lately has only been going 1-3 hours for his first stretch. I guess I’m anxious to try transitioning him to his own room because I’m worried he’ll be up a lot throughout the night wanting to eat and it’ll be difficult getting in and out of bed all night as opposed to just leaning over to grab baby and feed him…
Any advice is appreciated!!

Answer

Our girl is 4.5 months and EBF - same exact sleep schedule. She sleeps 8p-1:30a then wakes again at 5am on the dot. Back to sleep til 830a. Our master is on a different floor than nursery so I’m not rushing anything! She is sleeping and napping in the pack and play in our room. She is comfy and self soothes to sleep well. Not ready to put her upstairs. Also the highest incidence of SIDS is 4-6 months so certainly would not leave your room before then. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends room sharing until 1yr of age so that’s our ultimate plan.

Answer

Not yet, but the nursery doesn't have AC, so we're waiting until summer is over.
The decrease in sleep times could be a sleep regression. If so, baby will go back to their normal sleep routine within a week or so.

Answer

We did a few weeks ago. Some babies sleep longer when moved to their own room because they can’t smell moms milk. My baby started waking up a little sooner (2am instead of 4am). Yeah it’s a little hard waking up and actually going into their room but in my mind, babies are going to go through so many sleep changes and regressions we might as well just get her used to her room now 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Yes and no. I put baby in there at bedtime. But as we are nursing once he wakes the first time he goes to the bed side bassinet. Momma is lazy in the middle of the night.

Answer

My first born only moved into his own room a week before my March baby was born, he was 15 months. Swear it gets harder to do the older they get

Answer

No. Our two daughters will be sharing a room as our other bedrooms are in the basement and I’m not ready to move our two year old down there yet. I also don’t want to have our four month old waking kids two year old up in the night as she wakes up sometime between 2 and 4 am. I’m hoping soon but not holding my breath. Once she’s too big for the bassinet, if we’re not ready by then, I have a pack n play for her to sleep in

Answer

We just moved my son! This is night 3. He was sleeping really well but I kept waking up to every little sound so I decided to just move him and see how it went, it’s going great!

Answer

We did about a month ago. We also stopped using the Merlin suit too so we had a double whammy! Merlin makes a sleep sack so it was a good transition from the suit and I use a sound machine/light and I have a google home I play lullabies on. The first few nights were rough I ended up on an air mattress in his room for about 3 nights but he eventually got the hang of it!  I guess my only advice would be power through and don’t back track once you make the decision. It might be several sleepless nights at first but they’ll figure it out! Good luck!

Answer

Yep, baby used to be in their bassinet in the living room and my husband and I split the night shift on the couch. Baby has been in his crib all night now for a few weeks and we’re both back in our bed all night 🙌🏼

Answer

That's no for us. I'm from the other sode 😉. I  was co-sleeping with my daughter from about 6 to 20mo.
I loved the closnest and nursing in sleep has  given me a looot... so I plan on co-sleeping again with my son at one point. Now- he's still in the bed-side bed.
