• I couldn't wait for my son to sleep in his own crib! I just can't sleep knowing he is so close by for some reason...every sound he made would wake me up. lol I started putting him in his own room at 4 months but was still breastfeeding so I would get him in the middle of the night and he would sleep about an hr in our bed while I nursed him. Then by 6 months I cut out his feedings at night and he has been in his own room and own bed since. He sleeps better in his own room anyways!

• both my boys started out in my room in a bassinet right next to my side of the bed. when they turned 8wks old they went to their own rooms in their own crib. we picked that age mainly b/c thats when they started to sleep through the night a little better. i just used a monitor over night and it was fine. as far as SIDS, dont put anyhting in the crib with your baby,just a light blanket,no toys or stuffed animals or bumpers. check on him often if it makes you feel better and never put down on stomache to sleep at night. i think if naps are on stomache while you keep an eye on him it should be fine but not for long periods of time when your not awake.

• My first child was about 7-8 months and my 2nd one was about 4 months. In my opinion the sooner you do it the better.

• Well, it seems most do around or before six months.  Like I said, I had started to put her in her own room, but then we had scorpion issues, and we have Bark Scorpions.  I think their the most dangerous in the country.  But now we have a bug guy that deals with them, so, maybe if I don't see them for another week or two I'll start to move her back to her room.  She is sleeping in her crib, I just moved it downstairs!!!  Thank you

  I moved my boys from the bassinet in our room to the crib at  4 months.  I will so the same with my little girl.  I understand your fears about SIDS, something you should read up on is called "mattress wrapping"..you can google it and get a ton of info.  We did it/are doing it.  We got the stuff to do it at Home Depot for $12.

• When Blake came home from the hospital, he slept in his basinette next to my bed.. and when he was 3 months, we moved him into his crib in his own bedroom. He was fine. Never had a problem. He is now almost 6 and he occasionally sneaks into our bed in the middle of the night.
