The main question for all parents: how to understand that now, it's time to give the baby his own territory for sleeping?
From birth to 6 months the baby is with mom around the clock. Focus on the needs of your baby, if the baby feels comfortable in his crib - teach him to sleep separately even from the first months of life.
6 months - 1.5 year, your baby is more active - he studies the world around him, he may even be active at night. If you see that his dream has become disturbing or he is waking up, transfer him to your bed.
