Hannah: 6 weeks (I was tired of sneaking around her so as to not wake her all the time)
Briona: 2 weeks (she was a loud and snuffly breather and I kept waking when she was only breathing) Kryssi: about 4 weeks, she outgrew the bassinette anyway and I was ready to walk in the middle of the night when she needed a feed -------------  |

Michaela's cot was moved at about 6-7months but she continued waking up and coming into my bed every night until she first slept through at 10mo. ETA: This baby will have to wait until at least 6mo as DH has just comandeered the spare room as his man-lounge. -------------

We needed to move Hayden into the big cot at 14 weeks as he outgrew the basket and so had to go in his own room, I missed him at first but his room is only across the landing so I got used it it quick enough. -------------

Leah was 2 weeks - she hated the bassinet and wouldn't sleep in it. Joel was 6-7 weeks - i started him in his cot during the day to see if he would sleep better, then one afternoon he slept from 6-2am so I left him there after that!! He was disturbing everytime one of us moved, had every intention of keeping him in there longer but he sleeps much better on his own. -------------

indie lasted one night!! i had made an adorable cosy corner in our room with her bassinet, a comfy chair and fairy lights....
.....but hubby drove me nuts with his paranoia (sp?) that she was choking everytime she breathed!!! so into her own room she went! honor was with us about a week or two as hubby had to go back to work and needed his beauty sleep and feeding her in her own room meant he got more sleep.... .....i see a pattern happening here!..... ...but really i wear the pants in this house (indie eldest daughter next in line...then honor....then maybe the cat....:) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thanks ladies, maybe I should try her in her cot during the day and in with us at night, would that confuse her?? -------------

we moved Ella into her own room at night after 3 months- the first couple of nights were the hardest on me, because I kept on having awful nightmares about something happening to her and I couldn't reach her (even through her room is right next door). Before then she was sleeping in her room during the day and then our room at night. I don't think it would confuse her at all- in fact we found it helped her get used to get own room. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

We slept Lauren in the bassinett in the lounge during the day so she got used to "daytime" noises and at night she slept in our room till 6 weeks then she was in her own room and in a cot! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Sarah, Finn naps in his cot during the day and his bassinet at night and is fine, both are in his own room, we just want him to get used to the cot. He moved into his own room 40 minutes into our first night at home, he is so snorey and snuffly and generally loud at sleeping i could not get a wink and it works for us but then is actual room is only opposite ours anyway. -------------

I think Ollie was about 4 months old. I must admit, I absolutely loved having him next to me and I don't think our sleep was any more disturbed than it is now.
I can say that he would have been quite happy to go into his own room well before that - it was me that struggled with the move. Once it was done though I got over that pretty quickly - it was nice to have room to walk around the bed again!! |

Lucas is still in my room as there is no other room for him to sleep in, most nights he ends up sharing the bed with me too *sigh* he insists.... such a mummies boy 
But we're moving soon, i think ill slowly ease him into his own room ...moreso because I don't think i could handle not having him next to me. |

haha , he might love his own room from day one !
My friend , a single mum , always had her daughter in her bed , and it was all very well and dandy , until she met her boyfriend (now fiance) , then it created some difficulties ... Think long term as well, thats all, its only since 2 months ago that her daughter is finally sleeping in her own room all night, shes 7. -------------

within a week of coming home. I was trying to sleep him in his bassinet at night and cot during the day so he could get used to sleeping in different things and I noticed he slept way better in his cot so there it was!
With this one, we will have him/her with us as there is no room until he/she is able to maybe share with Tom...eek!!! It will depend on how "Gentle" Tom is. |

Caden has just gone into his own room tonight, he would have had his own room sooner but my dad has just finished building his room and we got our new carpet today so Caden is in there tonight.
I think I will miss him more than he will miss me! LOL ------------- |
