Just out of interest, what age did your baby start sleeping in their cot in their own room, and where they sleeping through or still waking for a feed. My ds is only 3 months but will start thinking about it in nwxt couple of months

both mine were around 8 months and sleeping through when they were moved. Its advised to keep them in the same room for the first 6 months so thats what we did.

DD was only in with us for 8 weeks as she was a very snuffly loud sleeper and I wasn't getting much sleep. She was still waking once in the night for a feed, but slept through from 12 weeks

Sporadically from 6 months, kept the crib in our room for as-and-when until it was physically too small.

Around 5 months. She still wakes 1-2 times a night but I find she will settle herself in the other room but in mine I would hear her and stay awake, waiting.

DD1 was 18 weeks at which point she'd been sleeping through for five weeks. However, there was only a light partition wall between us and I could literally here her as she rolled over. As we'd been putting her to bed at seven since 5 weeks, I didn't think there was much difference between that and being in with us.

DD2 was eight months and was fairly reliably sleeping through (although I could do without the 5.45am starts)

left it until just after 6 months. Think it was more traumatising for me than DD Smile I got less sleep going tlin checking on her! She was probably waking once or twice a couple of times a week but sleeping through other nights.

My 23mo has just gone from cosleeping to her own bed in her own room. She's only been sleeping through for 6 months or so.

She's been on her own for a few weeks now and I generally have to settle her once a night at least. She took to it much better than I thought she would though with no distress

A year she slept better in her own room

7 months, but he wasn't sleeping through by then.

But there have been periods of co-sleeping since then, though he finally appears to have settled back into his own room/cot.

He's now 16 months and has only just started sleeping through!

6 months. More dh's choice than mine! She didn't sleep through the night, continuing to wake around 4 for a bf for a LONG time after that.
What really helped me was a friend (dad of three, all crap sleepers apparently) pointing out it didn't have to be all or nothing, I could put her down in her cot so I could chill out, read in bed with light on if I wanted, not worry about being silent etc for first part of the night, then just bring her through when she did wake and co-sleep or use Moses basket for the rest of the night. I know this would be obvious to most, but I was just convinced that when she was in her cot I would have to keep getting up and taking her back in there after feeds.

3 months, she wasn't sleeping through but had a nice chair in there for bf once in the night. Sleep trained at 6 months so she then slept through.

5.5 months because he grew out of the bedside crib. Wasn't sleeping through every night and still doesn't at 10 months but settles better.

About 7 months.

But she wasn't keen and we coslept at least two thirds of the night up until about a year old, now 14 months and sleeping through.

DC1 was 7 months and definitely NOT sleeping through. He would stand up in the cot and look at us in bed and start laughing and cooing at all times of the night. When we moved him in to his own room he started sleeping a bit better.

DC2 slept through from very early on but I kept her in our room until she was 13 months old as she knew she was going to be my last baby and just wanted her near Grin.

6 months when he became too big for the crib. Not sleeping through, I'm more tired now I'm having to properly get up in the night but it's nice to have use of our bedroom again in the evening.

5 half months, we moved him because he had dropped his night feeds and he is a very noisy sleeper.
By sleeping through I mean 19.30 to 5.30 btw.
