When Can I Let My Baby Sleep Alone?

During the first 10 days, it’ll probably be easier to keep him in the same room so you can more easily get up to feed him and so you’ll get used to his sleeping patterns and breathing noises.

From 2 to 4 weeks, he should still be sleeping in your room or in a separate room with a baby monitor. After that, it’s fine to let him sleep in his own room as long as you feel comfortable with that; just keep the doors open so you can hear him if he starts to cry.
