When should my son go in his own room

Question

when do you think i should put my 7 month old in his own room, i havent done as of yet because alot of people said he's 2 young, wot do u think?

Answer 1

Personally, I prefer to have my youngest one in the room at me as long as they're waking up to nurse at night.  And since, our 13 month old will be sharing a room when she moves out, she's still in ours.  We want her to be a bit older before she shares with siblings, but it'll be before 19 months as that is when our new baby is due..  Our third child moved out of our room and in with her siblings at 16 months.  The older two moved out into a crib in their own room at 2 months and 7 months.

Answer 2

My daughter went to her own room when she was 6 weeks old.  You might run into problems since he's 7 months old, and that's when he can have separation anxiety and whatnot.  You just have to be patient and willing to try and try again.  I didn't have any problems with my daughter when we made the switch myself.  Every now and then she wouldn't go BACK to sleep in the wee hours of the morning, and we'd just crash together on the couch.  I also found that letting her cry for about a minute isn't a big deal, and she usually fell asleep right after letting out her initial irritation of not being in my arms.  Good luck!

Answer 3

I put my daughter in her own room when she was 10 weeks old. She had a crib and I had a baby monitor in the room with her.  I think it is a personal decission but I think 7 months is ok to sleep in their own room.

Answer 4

My babies were in thier own room from the beginning!  As long as you have a baby monitor, and use it, there is no reason why a baby has to sleep in his parent's room.

The sooner you let him sleep alone, the easier it will be on you. Stop listening to other people. Do what you think is best for both of you.

Answer 5

My daughter is 7 1/2 months old and we are just now starting to transition her to sleep in her own room.  So I'd say that now is a good time if that's what you want,  nothing wrong with co sleeping, its soo snuggly, that's why its hard to transition for us, I really don't mind her sleeping in our room, or our bed, but I've been told the longer you wait the harder it will be.  We'll see I suppose.

Answer 6

my son is 7 months and still sleeps in a crib in our room.  

i plan to keep him with us the first year.  i like having him right there and feel weird about putting him in his own room so young.

Answer 7

I put my son in his own room when he was 4 months old. He was sleeping through most of the night so it was a good time. I put a bed in his room to fall asleep with him when he wants to feed in the wee hours of the morning.

Answer 8

Our son slept in his pack n play for the first two weeks and now he's in his own crib...we have a video monitor on him all night...he seems to do fine in there...I didn't want him to get used to sleeping in our room and I definitely didn't want him in our bed at all...he naps in his crib, also...

Answer 9

Whenever you and he are unhappy with your current sleeping arrangement, then he should go in his own room. If you both like him being there, then there's no reason he can't stay. Don't worry about everyone else's opinions - they don't have to sleep in your house!

Answer 10

what do you mean...like when he is bad? and you sysa "go to your room!"...? like that? or you just mean when should he have alone time? lol
