Vote results: sharing your bedroom with baby

Did you vote in our recent poll? If so, what made you choose the option you went for?

hi there, i chose up to 6 months, but we didnt get that option my son is 4yrs now and still in our bedroom but not thru choice we live in a 1 bedroom flat, but good news we are moving to our new house in 6 weeks so next baby will only be in our room for 6months hopefully.

I voted up to 6 months but like kelly have a current lack of bedrooms.

My son slept in our room until he was just over 4 months,as he grew out of his moses basket at that stage. We noticed we kept him awake and vice versa. we now all sleep much better. to get him used to his cot and own room I always put him down for his daytime naps in there so it wouldn't be such a shock we he had to sleep in there.

Hi everyone,

I'm 18 weeks pregnant with my first, but already thinking about things like sleeping arrangements and breatfeeding. I would like to have our baby in our room for the first few weeks mainly to make night time feeds easier, but i'm concerned that it will turn into months and that we wont establish a proper routine.

I have always hated sleeping on my own and used to wake in the night and go to my parents room up to the age of 12 believe it or not. They eventually got another single bed next to their double and through the night we'd all play musical beds, sometimes ending up with all 5 of us in their room. I now think that my parents were total saints, but i'm determined not to go down that route with my own children.

Anyone with any tips or ideas?
