[quote=Anonymous]OP my feeing is it’s pretty rare that people actually follow that 1 year thing.  With my first I absolutely could not sleep when he was in the same room as me so I moved him next door to his own space at 2 months.  Our house was small and we all just slept with them doors open.  He had a period when he was 8 months that he had a cast on his arm and I wanted to be very close to him at night so we slept in his room on the floor… it was actually pretty pleasant to sleep so close but he started waking up a TON at night because he knew we were nearby.  As soon as we went back to our room a month later his sleep
Improved.  Sharing a space all year definitely would’ve been detrimental for everyone.

I have a 1 month old now and this time she’s in our room partly out of necessity and surprisingly this time I like it a lot, and am able to relax better when she’s close by.  She will stay in our room or the adjoining space until she’s sleeping well enough to room with our toddler.  You just never know how these things will go or what your preferences will be until you’re in the thick of it.

If you really want the baby to stay in your room after it grows out of the bassinet you could consider a mini crib.  [/quote]
