My Ped always told me to have them out of my bed by the time they were 4 months old because they start to develope a preferance. My first baby slept with me because all he did was nurse. No one got any sleep unless he slept next to me. I did listen to the doc and I moved him to his crib at 4 months. However I slept on the floor in his room for a couple weeks until he got used to the new environment. My next baby slept in a co-sleeper next to my bed. He didnt do very well in it, so I moved him into his crib at a month or so. I slept on the floor in his room for a couple months because I was afraid to leave him alone since he was a 32 week preemie. Now with Noah, he’s 10 months old and he still sleeps in my room. He takes naps in his own room though.
I think it just really depends on the child on how quickly they get accustomed to sleeping in a certain place. Some are more easily adaptable then others. If you are scared to move Aidan into his own bed, then listen to your gut and do what makes you feel the most comfortable. If you are worried that he will be a perminant roomy, try transitioning him to his crib and sleep in his room with him until you feel more comfortable about leaving him alone. Also, you could pick up a tv baby monitor so you can see him when he’s in his own crib. I have one, and I love it.

) so he’d be used to the crib, and then I put him in the crib in his room- we had the mattress elevated- I nursed him and we have a bed in his room, so I could go in there to nurse…he was fine with the whole transition, but I do think it was his personality…
