when do you move a child to there own room?

It is truly a preference and or availability. I put both my kids in their own room from the day they came home from the hospital. One thing for more sanity and safety is to get a baby monitor in the separate room and one you room this way you can hear if the baby cries while in their own room.

I think perhaps it is too early for a 5 month old baby to stay alone in the bedroom. My son started to have his own room when he was about 5 years old. Even though, sometimes I will go to check him at night when he falls asleep. I love China

Though I can safely say that the situation that I had when my children were little was very far from typical, I can say what I would do if I were to have another child at this point in my life. I used a bassinet with both Kathryn and Paul when they were really little. I would have moved them into their own rooms when they outgrew the bassinet if we would have had more than one bedroom. However, we didn't have more than one bedroom at that point in time. By the time that children outgrow the bassinet they are typically sleeping through the night and I think that is a good time to move children into their own room.

Everybody is different and a lot depends on circumstances, other children etc. I always moved my children into their own room at around 6 - 8 months or when they were (mostly) sleeping though the night. I found that the babies were more settled when they were in their own rooms.

My daughter was born at 29 weeks and came home on her due date. She was in her room the first night she came home. I had the baby monitor that would send an alarm if she didn't move for 20 seconds. There is a piece that goes under the matters it really works and helped ease my mind. It also had sound and I could hear her breath through the monitor. My husband and I agreed that she needed to be in her own room. Her room is right next to our so I can be in there in about 3 seconds. When we switched her over to a big girl bed we had a time where she kept coming into our bed because she could but we have talked about it. If she has a bad dream that wakes her up she can come in or if she is sick but I would say 99% of the time she sleeps in her own room. I know some friends who have a two year old and they can't get him to sleep by himself in his room. I have another friend with a 5 year old with the same problem. We didn't want that problem as all 3 of us sleep better in our own beds. She has slept trough the night most of her three years. The baby monitor is called Angelcare the are a little pricey but to me it was worth it and they have improved it since we have it, ours had a lot of static but I think they have improved that.

We moved our daughter at about 7 months, but we had a motions alarm under their mattress that would sound if there was no movement/breath for so many seconds. I tested it every day by turning it on when the baby wasn't in the bed or leaving it on when I took them out of bed to make sure it was working properly. We also had a video monitor so we could hear and see them. I think the choice is a very individual one and has a lot to do with how your baby handles it, however you don't want to wait so long that it creates separation issues for the child.

i don't know. i still doesn't have a baby, and doesn't married. why you dint' ask your mother ? you have your own mother right ? or you can ask your mother-in-law. i think that's will be better.

i think it depends on the readiness of the child. 5 months is too early.

I have an experience with only one child but my daughter had her own room when she was two or three months old. At the beginning me and my husband were sleeping in her room because we had to prepare our bedroom. When she could sleep alone I used to kiss her for good night, turn the light off and she was quiet the whole night. She was never afraid of the dark when she was a little kid. I think that the best thing for a baby is to have his own room - if it's possible. And to sleep in the dark like we do, kids don't need to sleep with a light. But you have to know that the baby is safe and let him stay alone, not rush in the room when you hear a sound. These tiny creatures are stronger than we think and need to get trained for the life. I wish you a happy motherhood!

I have a 5 month old too! And we keep procrastinating cleaning out "her" room so we can move her bed in there. I understand your concern, it's very reassuring for me that if I wake up in the middle of the night I can hear little breaths and know that she is ok, but if you buy a baby monitor you can have the same thing, but still have the privacy of your own room. My baby is very strong and able to move her head from side to side when she is on her tummy for months now, so even if she does roll onto her tummy in her sleep I don't worry too much about SIDS, but you can never be too careful.

For me, as a mom, i guess you have to move a child at an age of 7 years old up. Because at that age, they can already do some easy task on their own alone in the room. And at that age, some already wanted to prove themselves that they can be in a dark room alone feeling so brave haha. But if only months old, the child i guess, should still stay with you. :-)

It really depends on what you think and feel.My son is 15 months and we are just now moving him into his own room.I let him stay in the room with us for so long because I was also worried about SIDS.My friend moved her son at 5 months tho and used a baby monitor thats why I say it is all about how you feel.For me I was more comfortable with him being in the room with me.If you like I was are worried about SIDS I suggest keeping her in the room with you because if not you might not be able to sleep at all.Well I hope this helped.
