When did you allow your baby to sleep in his/her own crib?

My baby girl is going to be 3 months next week. I still have her sleeping in a playpen next to my bed. She has her own room and I’ve tried to let her sleep in her room by herself, but I get worried and bring back into my room to sleep with me.
Just wondering what was the average age that you were able to make the big change.

my son is 3 months and he still co-sleep with me. He has His crib in my room but I’m too worry. . . but I which it intends to Let Him Sleep There When He can move a lot. right now, he can turn around His body while sleeping. If I Let Him Sleep vertical, when i wake up in the morning, i found HIM horizontal. yeah I know, maybe next month, he will sleep in His crib

I was the EXACT Same Way! My baby slept in her bassinet until she could not fit in it. My husband kept telling me it was time but I was always too worried. So to compromise I Bought One Of Those monitors with a TV (on sale at walmart) I know That Way She Could sleep in her crib AND i could keep an eye on her. My daughter was about 4 months when i did that. I’m not sure there is a real time line of When You have to put the baby in the crib. some baby’s crib are in a home as soon and some do not go They Come in the crib until They Are 8-9months old. It depends on you and your baby. But you have to be comfortable with the situation. Good luck

well to me it sounds really silly to let an ifnant sleep in a room all by themselves. . . . ITS no wonder why many do not like it When They are forced to. . . would you want to be alone in a dark room and have no idea where our parents Went? When you cry then as They Do Because They Are “letting you cry it out” when all the while you feel frightened and abanndon Because no one is answering. . . That Does not Seem like a very peaceful way to fall asleep. . . . snuggling with mommy and daddy but in a warm bed Knowing They are right there with you and you are Protecting and will not leave you is simply bliss. . . . . . Why Would You Want Them to push off into another room?. . . . . It Does not Seem logicial.

Mine slept in the day room from Their Own Them Brought home from the hospital. If They cry, you will hear them. you wont sleep as sound as before. Also since you Decided to do it this way, have her take naps in her room During the day, and Its Easier to get her in there at noght. like a weaning process, or it Will Become a problem later and will not ever want to sleep anywhere away from mom.

With my first baby we lived in a studio apartment so she always slept in our room but I would not have if I lived Chosen That somewhere else. My second baby slept in her own room since 2 days. My husband wakes up really early and he needs His sleep is on call as many nights. I would just go into my room and nurse her babies then put her back to bed and then crawl back into bed. It worked for us. I would put her in her own room now. Do not wait for Separation anxiety to kick in or you’ll never get her out of your room.

As soon as she sleeps for more than 4 hours Would Be When I do it. I always had my monitor Turned Up So High That I Could Hear Them breathe though, lol. Which Makes for a horrific screech Feedback When you open the door. But anyhow, get used to being wellness Them in Their Own room asap. You do not want to have to struggle to deal with later When You have the energy for other things to go on in the bedroom!

Whenever you feel comfortable. And take cues from the baby. If she Is not bothered, then do not worry. I say give it a couple of months and then invest in a baby monitor for safety. Try not to go too long though, before she wont want to leave your room When you want her to. (Trust me it will happen, I was sooo happy to kick out my older son into His Own Room at 8 months-We Both space needed!)

my 8 week old daughter has-been sleeping in her own room since we Brought her home from the hospital and she has-been late. We started her in the bassinet but after about a week and half I woke up two mornings in a row and rolled on her side She Had I know her face was smushed up Against the side of it. Since then, she has-been sleeping in her crib. Actually she cries to go to bed, lol, around 9pm she starts to get fussy and the minute I lower her into the crib her eyes start to close and she stops crying, it’s really quite funny. . . I sure hope it stays this way
