For weeks 0-6 I typically slept on the sofa with the baby in a bassinet. Since I was up every 2 hours or so this allowed my husband to get a reasonable good night sleep. Around 6 weeks we transitioned the kids in to their own rooms. My daughter was fine in a crib, my son slept in a swing for another few weeks. He was in his crib at night be 10 weeks.
I believe it was close to 9 or so months. My father died when DS was 5 months old, so I was not in a place to sleep train or move him. We did not sleep train until 11 months. He did not STTN consistently until 2-2.5
I room shared with ODS for about 6 weeks. He was only getting up once per night at that point. With YDS, I kept him in our room in a bassinet for about 3 months. I was savoring the newborn stage.
I was totally psyched to use the co sleeper I borrower from my friend. Like, it was my favorite piece of baby gear I had. But once we got home from the hospital I think we used it twice. She was perfectly happy to sleep in her crib and I preferred nursing her in the recliner in her room over nursing in bed because she breastfed for 45 mins straight. So basically she has slept in her own room since 2 weeks old.

A year. She slept in the RNP then a pack and play. After she turned a year, she moved to a crib in her own room. But she was a preemie who came home on oxygen and a monitor for two months so I wanted her close.

We still bed share at 8 months. I'm reluctant to give it up because I feel like we both get much better sleep. Twice this week he woke up in a totally dry diaper. He only pees if he wakes up enough to get it going. It saves us having to get up with change his diaper at 4am.
