My baby is still sleeping in my room.  I had started getting her use to hers when we ended up having a scorpion problem.  But once I know that's dealt with I want to start getting her comfy in her own room.  Both the of the kids rooms are upstairs and mine down stairs.

How old was your baby when you let them sleep the whole night in their room?  I'm also super nervous about SIDS, the main reason (other than scorpions) that she sleeps in my room.

EDIT:

For those of you that wonder what I'm talking about as far as the scorpions:  Heres one:

  • It was complicated with my DS. He first moved to his room at around 2 or 3 months. But then my DH deployed when he was 4 months old and we visited my parents for 3 months, where he stayed in my room. When we came home, he was put back in his room. But somewhere down the line he ended up coming to our bed in the middle of the night. Now at 2 1/2 he is finally in his own room all night. DD was 3 weeks and doing great with it!

  • She was around three months.  She had just started sleeping through the night and we kept a monitor on in her room.

  • LOL, I know, I think that's funny!!!  I want so bad to move her to her room, just, that's my HUGE issue right now.  The one I posted I caught the other night.  I caught a baby scorpion on the wall upstairs.  They are the most venomous scorpions in the country.  Their Bark Scorpions, and can kill a child!!  No deaths recently from then here that I know of, but people die in Mexico all the time from them, I've heard up to 200 people a year die from a sting there!!


    Edit:  I live in Las Vegas NV

  • Jack and I slept in the same room for the 1st...oh....18 months of his life. NOt by choice. When he was born, ex DH and I lived in a tiny ass one bdrm apt. We couldn't even fit a real crib, so he slept in a pack n play. When I left DH, I moved in with my paretns who only had 1 room to spare so we shared that  one. At least there was room to get Jack a crib. Finally, I started sleeping on the couch in the family room because I was having nightmares and such at night.

    It sucked...

    And OMG with the scorpians!! EEEWWWWWWWWWW
