In my own opinion, i think children should start sleeping in their separate rooms as early as possible(may be 3 yrs old) for some reasons like children's independence/privacy, parents'privacy, etc, what is your own opinion on this, at what age should children be left to start sleeping in their separate rooms? Your comments/opinions are welcome

Honestly, when I have my baby, he/she will be sleeping alone. Ill have a baby walkie talkie or something & video feed to monitor everything but independence has to be taught early on in my opinion

Not everyone can afford separate rooms, but if you are privileged I'd say two years would be the ideal age, hoping by then he or she should have a lil brother or sister to share the room with.

d children dat r being born nw r way 2 smart. They shud start slepn seperatly asap.

so, u think they dont know b4, a friend of mine once told me dt her 4 yrs old child asked him why she refuse to give him a younger one, is it because u and dad are not sleeping together, pls go and be sleeping with daddy, so dt u can give me a little brother, so what do u think he meant by saying that?

I think 18months for d boys and 2yrs for d girls.

Digriz: I think 18months for d boys and 2yrs for d girls.

why d difference?
Children are children, whether bys or girls.

6 months - buy a good baby monitor, that is what I did

somebody: 6 months - buy a good baby monitor, that is what I did

u try o, 6 months ke, dt, i dont think i can do

I wasn't consistent but started then - if he wakes up in the middle of the night then I could take him back to our room. From 1 year - he was already sleeping through the night in his own room. It worked for us and I am sure I will adopt it for my future kids

well, we are learning, that is d essence of this thread. Thanks 4 ur comments.

Sure - good to learn what other people do. We had friends drum it into our ears to start putting our son in his own room early as when they got wise, it was harder. Maybe we overdid cause 6 months seems early by people's standards on here

yes ooooo, sooo many pple will say its too early, but considering d rate at which nowaday kids grow(intellectuatually), i think its worth trying. Thanks again.

This is what im saying again, my almost two-yrs old boy has been yearning and also crying to sleep with his siblings, but i dont feel comfortable with it.............why? I will have to be going to d room to check on him regularly, but if hes 3+, he would have learnt how to sleep thru out d night. Secondly,he would be distubing them when sleeping, especially when he feels like suckling(he still does) so what do i do now?

The day they are born, they should have their own room. Set up a video camera that feeds into your room, have one of those radio communicators that allows you hear when the baby is crying and all. That's if you can afford it anyway.

If you can't afford a spare room that's a different kettle of fish

@ poster, what will now happen if dy live in 1 room apartment ?

That is an exception

This is serious. If the child is prone to nightmare or the child is chronically ill e.g. a sickle-cell, asthma, epilepsy. Special considerations should be taken.

I was replying for the case of a perfectly healthy baby

Why not think of when you stopped sharing a bed with your parents..

CANT JUST IMAGINE THE KIN FRONTAGE WE GET THESE DAYSES.[/size]

you have to be very careful to separate your kids from you. Not just because you want to get your freak on or any other motives, You just have to be extremely careful because at the early age of your kids which is essential to life, try as much as posible to monitor your kids closely....

Asap o! It was tough getting my 9 year old boy to go sleep alone whenever his dad visits! He was too used to sleeping on mummy's bed

You mean you still breastfeed your almost 2 years old boy, are you a housewife cos I wonder how u have the time and patience.c'mon, m sure he will suck till he is 4, that's why u don't sleep overnyt now, just can't explain it.
