A baby denotes that you are becoming a big family.Babies needs more sleep to make them strong and grow so proper handling of your baby needs more timing and preparations.When your baby was already sleeping then you must take advantage of the situation to transfer him to his crib slowly and safely.You must take note that some babies like to face in their left or right sides only,so you must not let it be like that because there is a tendency your baby do not have a balance sides of their head.
You have to put some sort of soft pillow that is intended for babies so that their head would be shape equally.Some mothers put their babies in a swing that molds the head of their baby to become round.You must also make another bottle of milk preparation so that the sleep of your baby must never be interrupted by giving him the bottle of milk previously made ready.

When your baby starts to become talkative and also knows how to walk,that is the time you have to closely monitor his guidance.That is the time he adopts the actions from adults.The time you like to transfer him hie own room and of course with a good nanny to follow him well,then that would be when he is already 3 or 4 years old.Just remember this that these age of your child needs your proper attention because he is molding his identity whither he becomes a man or a girly.All sorts of interest enter
into his doubtful mind and he needs guidance from either you or your husband so he can ask many questions that he sees and he is a good observer so be cautious of all your actions.

I have a 5-month old baby. When he was younger, I was hesitant to put him to sleep beside us on our bed because we also have a son who just turned 2 last June. We were afraid the elder one might run on our baby. So we put him to sleep in a crib. It was too hurting for me to see him being separated from us. But i have no choice. Here in the Philippines, most of us are used to have babies sleep beside the parents, or at least the mom. Until we found a position that can make us all 4 fit on the bed. And he is now big enough (or at least mature enough to complain if ever his big brother can hurt him). So we already have him sleep beside us. But what is happening now is the opposite. His big brother is the one complaining everytime our baby rolls towards him. lol.

thats very interesting. your younger one is naughty i must say.
thanks for your participation
it is very common in india also to have babies sleep with the mother however, in our case we bought the crib and somehow ensured we made use of it. it felt bad initially but was ok thereafter.
now it is the most comfortable for all three of us (my hubby included ) that our baby sleeps in his crib...:)

As what I remember, for the first 3 months, we put our baby on the crib whenever he sleeps. After that, during nighttime, we let the baby sleep on our side. But on daytime, he still sleeps on the crib. 10 months onward, no more crib for him because he's now too big for our crib. :)

my 10 month old daughter sleeps in a cot in my room. she doesnt sleep through the night though. she wakes up at random time so i dont want to put her in a seperate rooms in case i dont hear her when she wakes. my two year old though, was sleeping right through the night from about 5 months so she went into her own bedroom at about 7 months because i was confident that she wouldnt wake up until the morning.

thanks laura, m sorry for the delay in the reply. i somehow missed to see this response. i apologize.
anyways, my baby also sleeps in his crib in my room and since he still akes up at night i do not plan to shift him in another room as you mentioned the reasons. he is 1 year old now and would probably taken another six months to sleep through the night.
i would take a call then.
thanks

My son slept in his crib in our room from the day we brought him home until he was 6 months old. To be honest though, I would have only kept him in there until he was 3 months old had it not been for needing to re-arrange bedrooms of 3 other kids to make room for a nursery. My son is such a light sleeper than any noise in our room would wake him up. Just tip toeing in to go to sleep at night would cause him to wake and then he'd be awake for hours! Once we moved him into his own room he started to sleep much better and so did we :)
I think it's totally up to each parent and what is right for each child. I don't think that you can really compare two different situations as everyone is different. My baby is very independent and doesn't like to be held much. Another baby might be very sucky and need a parent near them for a long time.

At first, when we first brought my baby in our house, we let him sleep in his crib but my baby can no stand the cold in our room so I ended up sleeping beside my baby on our bed. from that day until now we sleep together in one bed.
