When should I move my baby to their own room? Right now they're sleeping in our room but I'm unsure.

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Moving your baby to their own room is a personal milestone that depends on your family's comfort and your baby's temperament. The AAP recommends room-sharing for the first 6 months to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

Starting around 6 months, you can begin thinking about the transition. To make it work:

* Choose a time when your nighttime routine is well-established.

* Spend a few short visits in their room during the day so they become familiar with the space.

* A baby monitor with sound alerts can give you peace of mind.

If you're still night-feeding frequently or don't feel ready, that's completely fine—the 6-12 month window is also very common for this transition.
