How long before you moved your newborn into his/her own room on nighttime?

Am I correct in thinking that people on here are using the term 'co-sleeping' interchangeably with 'bed-sharing'? As I understand it, co-sleeping is just the process of sleeping in close proximity to your child and covers sleeping in the same room, whereas bed-sharing does what it says on the tin.

Did you wiki that info?

Wikipedia is the only place I have came across that makes a point of deffining the two terms. Everywhere else co-cleeping is used to mean the baby in bed next to you or in a co-sleeping cot that attatches to your bed.

so anyhoo, yeah, I usse co-sleeping to mean sleeping in the same bed.

As I use the term, "Co-sleeping" means in the same bed, or a cot next to the bed.

We popped her through on the day she was exactly 6 months.

What made you decide to do it? We moved ours when they were being disturbed too much, or we were.

The eldest used to end up with his feet on my neck and the youngest used to get woken up by us which prompted our moves.

We moved our DD at 2.5, we are fortunate enough to have a room big enough to have a full size cot in. We moved her a few months after taking the sides of the cot.

DD wanders through during the night and climbs in.

Having her in bed made bf much easier for me once I was healed from the c-section and could lie on my side without pain.

I think my son was 10 weeks old when he permanently went into his own room/cot.

It started with his noises keeping me awake as he wouldn't drop off again after his early morning feed. Or else he was chattering, grunting, farting, squealing etc etc. And we'd disturb him when going to bed/getting up for a wee.

He's happy as anything in his own room, sleeps through every single night despite currently teething.

I put him in his room in his basket at first, then into his cot. The transition was easy for us and done totally out of instinct.

We finally moved our daughter into her own room at 8 weeks, purely because none of us were getting a good nights sleep, my OH would wake to check her over, I would wake at the slightest snuffle and DD would wake if we made a noise, so that's why she now sleeps in her own room and seems to be doing fine.

Both mine were in own rooms from about the 3rd night. I just couldn't get any rest with the baby noises, so while I accept that's not current recommendations it worked OK for us.
