It may still be more practical to have your baby's crib in your own bedroom since you are waking to feed him regularly through the night, and there is research that suggests that having an infant sleep in a separate crib/ bassinet in the same room as you reduces the risk of cot death. However, you may prefer to move him to his own room so your sleep is less interupted by the sounds he makes in his sleep.
Crib /cot safety
Make sure your baby’s crib complies with safety standards. The headboard and footboard don't have openings or cutouts that could trap your baby's head. Don't use pillows, comforters, quilts, and other soft or plush items on the bed. At this stage, many parents start to put their babies in a sleeping bag – particularly if they have an active baby. This will prevent their covers from going over their heads and stop them kicking covers off. Don't place your bed near draperies or blinds where your child could be strangled by cords. Make sure your mattress fits snugly in the bed frame so that your baby won't become trapped in between the frame and the mattress.
Back to Sleep
Experts recommend that healthy infants always be placed on their back to sleep not their stomachs. The incidence of cot death has decreased by more than 50% since that recommendation was first made in 1992. It is now also recommended that premature infants sleep only on their backs.
Co-Sleeping
Experts recommend against bringing your baby to sleep in the bed with you for safety reasons. Although many cultures endorse co sleeping, there is a risk that the baby can suffocate or strangle, and studies have shown that there's a higher incidence of cot death (sudden infant death syndrome) in households where the baby slept in the bed with the parents.
