I was aiming for 5-6 months but only have a Moses basket and he's a right little chunk so I imagine he'll outgrow that way before 5 months...
If you're planning on having your LO in with you for sometime invest in something sturdier than a moses basket. By 12 weeks they will be wriggling and kicking in their sleep like no ones business, making it unsafe. My son would make his basket rock himself with all his shuffling!
We moved him at 11 weeks cos we didn't have room for his cotbed in our room and had well out grown the moses basket. His sleep improved drastically around the same time. He started sleeping from 9-5 and will go back down for an hour or so after this feed. His room is darker in the mornings than ours and he's not disturbed by my OH getting up for work at 5.30am. Plus he has points in the night when he will either wake up and settle back to sleep himself or will thrash about while still asleep. We would be settling him by rocking his basket or feeding him etc and I think that actually woke him more sometimes! Now he settles quicker and easier himself.
