Right now, Preston and I share a bedroom, but he sleeps in his crib. When I put him to bed at night, I have never stayed in there unless I'm going to go to bed at that same time also, which is like never now that he'll go to sleep around 9:00 versus the 1 or 2 am when he was first born. I'll go in and check on him if I hear him, and it's usually just to pop the pacifier back in. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone thinks that me not staying in there now will make it an easier transition once he has his own room to sleep in or do you think it won't make a difference because I do still sleep in there?

I think that you should start making the transition, because it may not always be possible for you to go to sleep at the same time does, or it just may not be an ideal situation.

I don't think I'm understanding...I usually don't go to sleep at the same time as him, so I don't stay in the room with him when he goes to bed. Like tonight, I put him down, came out here and then just when in when he made noises. He'll be in his own room when DH comes home and we get a house...right now there's not another room for him to go into.

I think it will definatly help when he gets his own room, he will be used to going to sleep without mommy right there.

Amanda, Val dh and I shared a bedroom untill she was 5 months. She always slept in her crib and we NEVER went to bed at the same time. We moved her into her own room at 5 months and she did fine. Her sleep troubles stemmed from nursing.

I think it might make the transistion easier if you didn't sleep in there everynight. Only b/c when he wakes up when you are in there sleeping he sees you and goes to sleep that way. So it might help him not to see you..kwim. I'm not explaining it very well. But that being said every baby is diff. Some kids transition without a hitch.

I think it'll help too!!! I've NEVER stayed in the room until Ethan fell asleep. And he does wonderfully now! I just put him in his crib, with his sippy of water, turn on his vibrating mattress, turn on the Glade Light Show plug-in, turn off the lights, and VOILA!!!...
