How did you mommas know it was time to move your child into their room? My twins just turned one, and their dad keeps telling me it’s time for them to move to their own room. But the thought of them being on the other side of the house scares me. Especially when I still check on their breathing all throughout the night

My children started out in their own rooms and I am so thankful for that because to this day don’t go to their room crawl in their bed and go to sleep the older they get the more they get used to your room and the harder it’ll get to get them out I just went out and got a baby monitor that’s got sound motion the screen I turned it all the way up put it next to my head cuz I had to do was roll over look at it it shows there’s movement which means they’re breathing if they cry you’ll hear them…

I co slept for years and loved every minute of it. There is no right or wrong answer to your question. It’s whenever your ready.

If your husband thinks it’s time and you’re not ready let him deal with it, I bet his mind will change real quick. I think let them cosleep for as long as they will.

After they are out of the baby baby stage, around 1 or so they should be in their own room. Aside from the dangers of co sleeping it also puts your children in a "dependency " sleep which leads to issues in the future. If you have a spouse that also adds to a disconnect with your partner. Double if it’s a man your with. Really hard to feel together when there’s a third “person” in the room… edit: I have never met a man in my entire life that “wanted” to co sleep with the kids full time. Put up with? Yes. Said “oh yeah no problem we co sleep”. Sure, but the second she wasn’t in ear shot he was complaining. I can’t say that it’s the only thing either but 3 out the 5 couples that wer close to the 3 getting divorced had the kids in the room even after 3 years old. That’s not a statistic for world stuff but anecdotal so take it for that.

I feel 1 is too young maybe can start introducing them to their bedroom during nap time just so they can slowly get used to sleeping in there, send dad to geust room lol
When my kids are ready to move in their room or if they end up sleeping on the bed in siblings room that when I know I add the bed there.
The kids are other side of the house to go their bedroom will freak me out due of robbery, shooting, kidnapping, breaking into the house, hurricanes, tornadoes, bad storms, fire, what if they walk out of front door I won’t hear it, sleepwalking, something happen to them being sick, fall, get scared. I will not move them til they are completely able to do things on their own and know what to do. As mom being profoundly deaf I feel safe with my kids in my room. My kids feel safe to be in our room. If dad want kids in their own bedroom then mommy go in the kids bedrooms. That is how I am. I don’t regret. I always said kids come first and will always be first thing in my mind to do what best for kids. Dad need to understand bring the baby or kids in the world always put the kids first and their safety. That what me and my husband did for years. Now all of them have their own room since before they started kindergarten it work out great.
All of my kids started out in their own room. With the first two the house was small so they were in the next room. With the 3rd her bassinet was in our room until she was about 3 months, but she was only in it at night. At 3 months she was in her own room full time.
I transitioned my kids to their own beds & rooms at one years old! Get a baby monitor.
I put my twins in their own room at 7 mo. Hubby n I needed our bed back. Move em. Before ur hubby finds a better bedmate
