Moving Baby into his own room

We just moved our son into his own room at 11 weeks. His room is also cold and we use a space heater. I was very nervous leaving him in there with the space heater on but it is one of those models that if it falls over or gets bumped it automatically shuts off.

i'm really wondering about this, too! my girl sleeps actually sleeps with me so i'm especially concerned about the transition. she still wakes up every 3 hrs or so to breastfeed and i really dont want to have to go through the routine all night from room to room. right now she just squirms so i nurse her and then we fall back asleep together. i want to get her in her own bed soon b/c shes almost 4 months, but i'll probably miss her more than she'll miss me!

Here in Australia the SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) guidelines suggest having your baby sleep in the same room as you until they are at least 6mths old. Haven't really read into why they suggest that though.

I moved my daughter into her "big girl crib" last night. She is 11 weeks...I was nervous to do it and felt a little separation anxiety even though there is only one wall between us, but she did great. It is nice to have the nighlight out of our bedroom and she seems to sleep much better without us moving around and my husband snoring (hee hee!) I don't worry about disturbing her as much either. I would think a space heater would be fine to leave in his room.

We moved our son into his own room at 8 weeks. It is a little cold in his room, so we put an extra layer, a onesie or pants, and he stays warm. I think he sleeps so much better in his own space, not so much noise from my husband and I snoring and moving around after he is already asleep.

I'm wondering the same thing. My son is also 9 weeks old and sleeping through the night. I just think it's a little sad to move him to his own room. We use a space heater in our room from time to time and it's fine. I plan to use one in his room on cold nights.
