Baby's Own Room

Putting your baby in his own room is a comfort issue between you and your husband. If your child has no heath issues, he can probably start sleeping in his own room now. However, I would strongly suggest that you get a baby monitor so that you can hear his breathing and cries. Also, keep in mind that if your son isn't sleeping through the night yet, you'll have to get up and walk to the other room before you can tend to him. The extra time it takes you to get to the other room could mean the difference between waking up your other children and spouse, and letting them sleep through the night. Also, you might find feedings and diaper changes a lot easier on your personal sleep if you keep your son close by—at least until he sleeps through the night.
