How old was your baby when you started to put them in their own room? My son is 4.5months and I want to put him in his own room but am still a little scared. What age does the risk of SIDS go down most? We have a camera monitor so I would be able to watch his every move, but i’m still worried. How old was your baby?
My daughter was 1 year old when she started sleeping in her own room. But that is only because we didn’t have our house yet, so we had to share a room for the first year living with family.
Right now my son sleeps in his playpen right next to my bed. He does still wake up at night. Mostly just whing and stuff. I guess I am worried because we have a split bedroom layout in or home. So he would be on the other side of the house. (It’s not a HUGE house 1800sq ft) but it’s far enough for me to worry, lol. It’s not like his room is right next to us. As for the SIDS thing, I know risk of SIDDS doesn’t matter whether he is right next to me or in his own room. But when he is right next to me I can just sit up and check on him several times a night. I think I am going to start transitioning him to his own room this week. Start putting him for naps in his room until I feel comfy enough for him to sleep in his own room all night

Our baby was 2 months old when he started sleeping in his own room. I had a niece who passed away from SIDS at 5 months so this was a huge concern for us. We purchased a HALO mattress which helps reduce the risk of SIDS by circulating the air around the baby and has a breathable cover. We also do not have a bumper on the crib or any animals and only use a blanket that can be tightly tucked into the sides of the crib. With all of these measures and the reassurance of our Pediatrician, we felt comfortable putting the baby in his own room at such a young age. He now goes to bed at 8:00 and sleeps 7 hour stretches at 3.5 months
