DD1 was in our room till 16m, screw getting up to go feed a baby in the middle of the night! The least effort for me the better! (and I like hearing her sleep!)
Also it reduces the risk of SUDI (SIDS) if they are in your room till 6m

Lucan was in our room till 5w, he was waking to the stupidest noises - sleep through DH's alarm, but wake to a drawer being quietly shut (WTF?!) He was only waking twice a night though so not too bad.

Plus now DH doesn't even stir when I get up to feed bubs in the night ]]> Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:52:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1427739&title=baby-in-your-room#1427739 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1427561&title=baby-in-your-room#1427561 Author: Kate08

Our first daughter was in our room for 4 weeks, but she was a really noisy sleeper so we transferred her into her own cot.
Our second was quiet as a mouse. She ended up in our room for 5 months.
Both girls transfered to their own rooms without any problems.
Just give it a go and see how it works for you ]]> Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:21:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1427561&title=baby-in-your-room#1427561 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1427319&title=baby-in-your-room#1427319 Author: Sharlene28

Our bubs was in our room until he was about 8 weeks old then we had to put him in his own room as he was keeping us up all night making noises. We all get a much better sleep now and beccause I'm not waking up everytime he makes noises he is actually sleeping through the night! We put him in his cot at about 8 weeks too as he was out growing his bassinet! ]]> Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:49:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1427160&title=baby-in-your-room#1427160 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1427148&title=baby-in-your-room#1427148 Author: rachelsea

DS is still in our room and he's 8.5months, but then we only have two rooms at the moment and DD is in the other one. I don't want to put them in together while he is still waking up a million times a night When we move into our new house in March he will have his own room but I don't know if he will sleep in there or not, will have to see what happens!]]> Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:57:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1427148&title=baby-in-your-room#1427148 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1425448&title=baby-in-your-room#1425448 Author: fattykat

I think DD was just over 6 months.
She was in her bassinet beside my side of the bed then in her cot at the other end of our room (we have a long narrow room)
I don't think I would have been able to sleep with her not in our room.

We moved DD into her own room around 4 months when she stopped night feeding and she grew out of her bassinet. I found it ewasier to BF in bed and less disturbance for her, but everyone is different. I think I would of been too worried ot put her in her own room before then, as it is now sometimes I wake up randomly in the middle of the night and check shes ok lol]]> Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:55:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1425235&title=baby-in-your-room#1425235 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1425110&title=baby-in-your-room#1425110 Author: blondie_2010

With DS it was 3 months. With DD we had moved house and had a much smaller room, so after a few days it was either DH move into her room or she did! So she did, and I slept in the spare bed in there until after the early morning feed. DH needed his sleep if he was to function at work at all. And we used monitors for ages after they were in their own rooms. ]]> Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:46:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1425031&title=baby-in-your-room#1425031 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1425002&title=baby-in-your-room#1425002 Author: Tyrbear

I think it depends on how comfortable you are with or without them near you, and how noisy they are at night.

I found both my kids were/are really noisy at night, they snort, snuffle and moan. Every time I would think they were waking up, I would go to the bassinet pick them up, try to feed, upset them, end up with an overtired baby. If their own rooms, they can snort, snuffle and moan all they like to settle themselves, and silly old mum won't interfere! I can still hear them cry from my room, and use an angelcare monitor for my peace of mind. My 10 week old has been sleeping 7pm-7am from xmas with only a dreamfeed, so it doesn't seem to bother him at all :-) ]]> Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:47:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1424999&title=baby-in-your-room#1424999 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1424956&title=baby-in-your-room#1424956 Author: Bambino

Nine weeks for me ... then gradually moved to own room - day sleeps at first and then after a week or so overnight too.

Im pretty sure plunket currently recommends keeping baby in the parents room til 6 months old to reduce risk of SIDS.

We kept our girls in with us until they were 9 weeks. I thought it was better for DH when he went back to work if I did the feeds in their room and figured they would hear each other's sleep noises. They slept through from 12 weeks so wasn't long doing that.

If I did it again with a singleton I would keep them in our room longer I think. I beleive the current SIDS guidelines suggests till they are 6 months.]]> Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:21:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1424923&title=baby-in-your-room#1424923 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1424844&title=baby-in-your-room#1424844 Author: SethsMama

We kept DS in until about 4months, when we started putting him down earlier. he would wake 1-2 times a night. Slept through at 7months when we moved house (think it might have been a bit too cold in the old house).]]> Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:00:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1424844&title=baby-in-your-room#1424844 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41392&PID=1424834&title=baby-in-your-room#1424834 Author: kelzie_rose

Ds has never slept in our room (except when we're on holiday). He's always slept well overnight, since 12 weeks only waking once and has slept through since bout 11ish months. Did sleep through the night from 12 weeks- bout 5/6 months.

Our DS was in our room until 11 or 12 weeks and then he went in to his own room as he was sleeping well, waking only once a night...which stopped when we put him in his own room.

We are moving house before the baby is born and having trouble deciding how the rooms are all going to work.
Any advice on how long the baby stays in your room for or if you put them straight into their own room?
