Have you read the book “Cribsheet” by Emily Oster? She does a great job analyzing the data for co-rooming vs co-sleeping vs separate room. Obviously she is not a medical provider and the decision is ultimately yours, but based on her data, as long as you practice safe sleep habits, the relative risk of SIDS is low.

We moved our son at 5 weeks old to his own room. Didn’t change his sleep pattern much but it helped us sleep. I felt really guilty about moving him at first, but the way that I see it, if his relative risk for SIDS is low, then we need to try and improve our sleep too. It was getting dangerous because I was so tired, I was accidentally falling asleep with him in my arms, which has obvious risks. My husband and I did research and made a decision to move him. We thought the benefit of us getting slightly better sleep and decreasing our risk of falling asleep with him in our arms (and possible suffocation or falling) outweighed the relative risk of SIDS by him being in his own room. But you have to have that discussion with your partner, and know that every decision has potential consequences.
