According to the infant sleep information source website – https://www.basisonline.org.uk/, it is said that the official guidelines tell parents to keep babies in their parent(s) room until they are 6 months old. This is because the risk of SIDS (cot death) is greater for babies who sleep on their own compared to sleeping in the presence of an adult. However some go into a separate room at around 3 months of age (babies are most at risk of SIDS at 2-3 months of age).
