We have a smallish bassinette so all the girls have been in a cot, in their own room at about 6 weeks.
DD2 was a noisy sleeper, I had to move her at 2 weeks LOL

DD is still in our room, we 'side car' (although DH left the rail on the cot when he put it in our room so it has a rail between us (prob a good idea now that shes crawling))
We are looking to move her into her room next week when we get back from our weekend away.
I wanted to have her in our room till 6 months cos it reduces the risk of SUDI, and she wakes so often cos of her eczema there wasnt any way I was going to make my life harder But DH is wanting us to have our room back, so I figure Ive done the 6 months I wanted

My girls have been in their own room since we came home from hospital (they were 4.5 weeks old, so 38w gestational age when they came home). They were in bassinets until about 4-5 months and then in their cots. I could always hear them if they needed me, but didn't hear the snuffles and grunts and snores (man babies are noisy sleepers!!). We never had any monitors either.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I would love to 'side-car' but that would mean that we wouldn't actually be able to get in or out of the bedroom anymore.

I have just put DS down in his new bedroom now, for his first sleep....and he has gone straight down!! No dramas at all. He is in his bassinet inside the cot, but for the next sleep I will put him straight into the cot. I feel a bit bad that he is still in the bassinet as, he is having to sleep with his legs bent and everytime he stretches out they hit the end.

We'll see how he goes tonight. I will leave both our doors wide open, so we will still be able to hear each other.

We were 2 weeks old here too, we kept waking each other up (I would think she was awake with all the noise she made, and then get her up to feed her, and then she WAS awake!). We always had a bed in her room though, so I would sometimes sleep in there if she was sick or something.

It's funny this issue of moving babes to their own rooms, cos i don't know of any babies that have ever had an issue with it. None of my baby group have, none of my friends etc.

I think the issue is in us mummies heads! As someone said earlier i was a bit disappointed that neither boy seemed to miss me...

DS was 3 weeks and DD will probably be the same. We all slept much better when we weren't waking each other up with the slightest noise.
