My son is 7 months old and some time for naps he sleeps in his room in is crib but at night......he is in our bedroom in his playpen. I have read on my favorite childcare website Baby Center [ www.babycenter.com ] that doctors say that baby's can sleep in there own room as of the first night home from the hospital. Also, that after 6 months you do not need to use a baby monitor. That is what the experts say but..........

I have tried putting him in his own room at night and I freak out. Mind you I am very deep sleeper, my husband usually has to wake me up for the baby. So I am paranoid. My husband on the other hand has no problem with letting him sleep in his room as long as the monitir is on. SO pretty much there is a difference of opionion.

This is what I think, has your child had any problems sleeping? has your child given you any reason to give you cause for alarm? If No, then the answers is when YOU are ready. You need to be able to get a full nights rest [or you know the best amount you can get] without worrying about your little one.
If yes, wait until those problems resolve themselves first.

But, a litte unsolicitated parental advice that I am just learning......The longer you wait the worse it is going to be. Not just for you but also for your little ones. Babies are learning so much everyday at night they want to sleep where they are comfortable and change leads to long hours of crying, sometimes.

Just be prepared for whatever you chose to do. Look at the website if you get frustrated, they have hundreds of articles when it comes to children and babies sleeping,eating, dressing, walking,teething, gas problems, etc. and where and how on those things.
Good luck.

Answer
I found this site: http://www.babycenter.com/baby-cost-calculator .... it works.

or this site is helpful too: http://www.investopedia.com/articles/pf/08/budgeting-for-baby.asp

It says:

To get out and about you will most likely want to purchase a stroller, an infant car seat (required by law), a diaper bag, portable play pen and baby carrier. Total: $400 or more

To keep your little prince or princess occupied you may want to consider a portable swing, "bouncy seat," play mat and/or jump seat. Total: $200 or more

To begin, you will want to have a crib and/or bassinet, crib mattress, basic bedding and blankets, changing table, small dresser, rocking chair, monitor and diaper pail. Total: $1,100 or more

You'll spend a good amount of time and money feeding baby in the first year. Main items to purchase are bottles and equipment (nipples, brush), bibs, a highchair, utensils and burp cloths. Total: $200 or more (Note: If you're planning to breastfeed, add $200 for nursing items, such as a breast pump, nursing pillow and milk storage.)
