Many parents wonder when is the right time to transition their baby to their own room. While the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends room-sharing for at least 6 months, the decision varies for each family.
1 – Signs Your Baby is Ready for Their Own Room
✔️ Sleeping for longer stretches without frequent wakings.
✔️ Parents’ movements or noises are disturbing the baby’s sleep.
✔️ Baby is over 6 months old and has an established sleep routine.
2 – How to Make the Transition Smooth
✔️ Start with Naps in the New Room – This helps the baby get used to the new space.
✔️ Keep a Familiar Routine – Maintain the same bedtime habits.
✔️ Use a Baby Monitor – This gives parents peace of mind while baby sleeps separately.
3 – Final Thoughts
The transition to an independent sleep space should be gradual and based on the baby’s comfort level. With patience, most babies adjust well to sleeping in their own room.
