Pediatrician 's  Response
There is not exact age recommended when the baby can be allowed to sleep alone. The baby can be allowed to sleep in his room as soon as you are ready for it. you can make some arrangements for you to hear when the baby cries or needs you. There is also a lot of cultural difference found in this kind of practices. Some parents would keep their children in their rooms till they are 7-8 years old or more.
Where as in some cultures it is a norm for the baby in his own nursery right after birth and the mother tends to his needs as and when required by going to his room.
