4 months. Then we all started waking each other up and we decided it would be better if she was not in our room anymore. She was also waking up less (lol - maybe 3 times instead of 5) so it made sense.
DS stayed in our room in the RNP for 6 months. He slept well until about 5.5 months, so I didn't want to screw up a good thing. Then ear infections, sleep regression, whatever... his sleep went to shit and he was starting to try to roll around in the RNP. At his 6 months appt, his pedi said the ear infection was finally cleared up. We moved him that night. No RNP, no swaddle, everything cold turkey. It wasn't as bad as I had expected.
DS is still in our room, he will be 4 months next week. I plan on moving him over the next week or two. I didnt want to schlep to the nursery every nigh to nurse, so he is still next to our bed.
We still have N in our room; he is 4 months old. He's still in the Rock N Play- we wanted to try to transition him to the Pack n Play that is also in our room and then to the crib but he's had a cold for three weeks and seems to sleep better on the incline with it. Sooo..hopefully by 6 months.
This was our problem, too. Ultimately, he moved at 6 months. But I had wanted to move him sooner. I kept planning it for a time when I'd have a long weekend, each and every time he'd end up with a cold/ear infection/whatever. The incline makes a big difference!
DD is nearing 3.5 months and is still in our room with no plans to change that for the moment. She sleeps really well and I enjoy having her close for BF in the morning so that I don't have to go far. Plus, I'm waiting until she outweighs the cat before moving her to her crib. I'm afraid to have her far from me if the cat decides to sleep in her bed. The cat is over 6kg and DD is just over 5kg...I plan on moving her to her own room probably around 5-6 months old.
C is 4.5 months and still in our room. I actually would have moved her a couple of weeks ago if we have central air but as it is we only have a window unit in our room and one in our living room, so her room is really warm. Once fall arrives and it cools down we will be moving her. ETA: I do like having her right next to me for feedings since she is still up once or twice a night, but I feel like we will all sleep better apart.
2 days. She was so noisy. Between her and the dogs, I couldn't take it. Her room shared a wall with ours, though. We are on a different floor now do I'm going to try to keep #2 in our room much longer.
We moved him out at 13 weeks but he is now back in. A big part of the reason is we have only one air conditioner right now and our second floor is way too warm to sleep with out. Our windows are over standard size so putting a second one in will be a process that we just have not gotten too. Hopefully soon

We first moved her to her room at 4 weeks. Then we brought her back to our room around 6 or 8 weeks because of a scare with her breathing monitor. We moved her back to her room permanently a little before 4 months. She was sooo loud as a newborn.
ZERO. I don't know how anyone gets any sleep in the same room! I can barely sleep with my husband in the same room. Okay, so I'm weird, but both kids are healthy and happy.

Same here. DD was in her crib in her own room from the first night onward.

DS is 3 months. He has slept in his crib from night 1 but I have a twin bed in the nursery. About 1 month ago I started sleeping the first half of the night in the master BR with DH and then continuing the rest of the night in the nursery. Now he sleeps from about 8pm-4am alone in his room and I finish off the night from 4am to 7am in the nursery twin bed. If possible I highly recommend this set up.
DD is was napping in her crib on the other side of the room while I sit on my bed writing this reply.
We are at 7.5 months and no plans to stop. DD and I share the MBR. Both of us are good sleepers. She was in some type of crib from day 1 in the hospital and continued in a crib when we brought her home. My husband sleeps in the loft on weekdays and in our room on the weekends. DD woke up every.three.hours mad with hunger for 5.5 months and it was just easier for me to take care of her in the same room.
For a few weeks after she was about 4 weeks old, we sometimes bedshared and DD slept in the RNP for a while when I was still trying to nurse and she was getting up every 90 - 120 minutes largely because of undiagnosed reflux. As soon as I went back to EPing and put DD back on the bottle and she got her reflux medication, she went back to her crib with no issues.
We have a second bedroom that could've been her nursery, but I am selfish and needed that room to be my office and wasn't about to give it up and paint ducks and elephants on the wall for a kid who has no clue what room she is sleeping in.
6 weeks. it was about 4.5 weeks too long, but our apartment was under construction so we didn't have a room for him until 4 weeks and then we had family staying so we let them use the new room. he didn't magically sleep longer necessarily, but I think everyone slept deeper because we weren't waking each other up.
We did almost 7 months and it was a mistake. Moving her to her room took her two weeks to adjust, and she's still not even in her crib because when we finally tackled that transition, she got HFM (and before she actually got sick sick with it, she kept sitting up in the crib and crying). We're attempting it again this weekend, and my new piece of advice to anyone with a small baby and a pair of working ears/eyes is to move your baby into their crib before they are mobile. I imagine things would be going a lot more smoothly had we moved her earlier.
With baby number two, we will more than likely do three months and then move him or her to her own room.
