1-year-old baby room?
⚡ Short answer: From 1 year on, a baby can safely sleep in their own room, but bed setup, room temperature, and safety measures (outlet covers, furniture anchoring, etc.) should follow pediatric guidelines.

1-year-old baby room? My mother-in-law says one thing, and I'm reading something else.

It's frustrating when sources contradict each other. At 1 year (12 months), the pediatric guidance is actually pretty clear:
- Bed: Your baby can sleep in their own room — the AAP recommends the same room but separate bed for at least 6 months, ideally 1 year; from 1 year on, a separate room is considered safe. The bed should still be a crib or low toddler bed with no soft pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals (to reduce sudden infant death risk).
- Environment: Room temperature 20-22°C, regular ventilation, dim nightlight.
- Safety: Outlet covers, furniture anchored to walls, curtain cords out of reach, window locks — your baby is now mobile and curious.
What is your mother-in-law disagreeing about — the bed type, sharing a room, or something about sleep routine? Knowing the specific difference can help clarify.
