absolutely not. we put her in her room at about 3 months and we all started sleeping better after that. edit to say: she slept in the pack n play in our room for those first 3 months
No, she was a noisy sleeper. She slept in the living room with H once we moved to EFF. Then we moved her to her crib in the nursery at 4 months. I was very anxious, and having my H sleep beside her helped me tremendously. We got an angel care monitor when we transferred her to her crib.
18 months with DD but, like brooklyn, it was circumstance, not conviction. Small apartments, man. We are now major ballers in a two-bedroom apartment, so DD has her own room, but DS (5.5 months) is bunking with us still. They'll eventually share a room, but I haven't decided when.
6 months so far. I am kind of getting over it but we kind of wanted to do some house work before moving DD2 to her room. Not sure if that is actually going to happen anytime soon.
I have one of those magical babies that never sleeps though. We moved her crib into our room because it was easier for us to pat her back to sleep and stumble back to bed vs going all the way down the hallway to her room. Lazy parents for the win. Whatever gets everyone the most amount of sleep!!
Not once after the first night home with DD1, aside from staying overnight somewhere else. DD2 was in her own room from her first night home. My kids are both light sleepers and are very noisy in their sleep. Space has been good for us. Plus, video monitors.
We did for 8 or 9 months. But he had a lot of health issues, had to wear several monitors, oxygen, and had a overnight feeding tube. It was much easier to keep him in our room than run upstairs in the middle of the night or every time a monitor beeped. I don't know when we would have moved him if we didn't have to deal with all that.
DH kicked her out at 9 months after the pedi said we should think about transitioning her to her own room. I cried and went to get her the second night. Bedsharing with her is no fun though so she had to go back after 1 night. If I had my way, she'd still be in our room at 16 months. DH disagrees and she doesn't seem to care so I just have to deal.
Still room sharing at 13 weeks (today!) and I'm not sure I'm anywhere ready to have him in another room with all of his vomiting. I'd have been open to that if he was OK but as is, the thought gives me too much anxiety.
He was cosleeping until his GERD got so bad last month and now I have him upright in his swing nearby. He does keep me up though with his cute noises. I'm working hard to stretch his hourly feedings out and he made it 6 hours last night, which was incredible. Now to stop waking to check on him, LOL.

She pretty much only slept on me or in her Mama Roo until about 3 months. Then she slept in her crib with the Snuza monitor on. Room sharing is not an option due to my husband's health issues.

We did 3.5mos, but really only because we were anxious FTP and it meant we could replace the paci without having to get up. I still took him into his room to nurse MOTN.
I'm not sure what we will do with a hypothetical second.
Technically she went into her own room at 3.5 months. But her sleep is such a crappy sleeper that 50% of the time we are bed sharing just so I can get some sleep. DD is 5.5 months

All of my kids co-slept, in our bed, for 22 months, and my older three often sleep with me when exH was deployed or away for training. I didn't have any issues with transitioning them to their own bed/room, and never dealt with bed time issues. Our 20 month old sleeps with us, and likely will for a little while. She still nurses a couple times a night.

Baby is 12 months and I would love to get her out of or bed and into her own room. She is in a constant state of teething so I haven't had the heart to kick her out :/ once these molars pop through we are trying!
