anyone transitioning to the crib yet?

Question

Has anyone started to use the crib yet? I am going for the first attempt tonight... She has been sleeping in her room in a rock and play for a month and doing great... Thought I would give this a shot before she grows of the Rock and play and I am forced to. Any advice would be great...

Answer

I rolled a towel and made it so it will make him feel like he's still in a tight space and put his sheet over it then his soft blanket and tucked it so he cant get it unrolled and can breathe safely. I stacked a few blankets under the one end of the mattress so he feels the incline

Answer

I feel like such an anomaly and has no idea so many people don't use their cribs. We started naps in the crib the first day home and by the fourth night he was sleeping his last leg of the night there. At about 2 weeks he switched fully over to the crib at night.  It's in his own room too. I couldn't sleep well with him in the bassinet; he's a super noisy baby and woke me up all night.

Answer

He's been sleeping in his crib since he was 2 months, I actually had to do it I had no choice since I got really sick with a cold and didn't want him to get sick so I had to put him in his crib,ever since then he hasn't slept with me. He refuses to have any blanket on him he hates blankies he'll kick them right off of him and he'll wake up because of it. So we turn of the air at night since it doesn't get hot at night, and we do take everything out of his crib before he goes in it, plus his crib is also in our room because I'm not ready for him to go to his room lol one step at a time momas lol.

Answer

We're doing one nap a day in the crib until she outgrows her bassinet

Answer

We starred putting her down for naps here and there starting at 6 weeks, she seemed to like it in there and slept well. Just put her bassinet and Rock n' Play away 2 weeks ago. She is 12 weeks tomorrow and is only sleeping in her crib. She sleeps 8 hours straight (but on her tummy, don't judge as it's the only way she'll stay asleep). She seems to like it best! I think starting out with naps early on helps the transition to full time bed time sleep.

Answer

We just transitioned our son to his crib at 12 weeks. We had no issues. He is still not a great sleeper (wakes every 2 - 3 hours), but no different from when he was in the bassinet. We did put him in his crab for occasional naps and play time previously.

Answer

We started around week 3 because he made so many noises in his sleep. We don't have a specific bed time but I make sure I do the same thing every time he goes to bed usually. Most nights he falls asleep in his mamaroo when we eat dinner. He wakes up around 8-9 and I feed him and then change and swaddle and sometimes I put him back in his mamaroo to soothe him while I put my pump supplies away. Then I bring him into his room and if he's still awake I read him a book and rock him in our glider. He usually goes in his crib drowsy and falls asleep on his own. He wiggles a little and grunts but eventually falls asleep.

Answer

Been using the crib since we brought him home. Our night routine is consistent, and after his night bath when we put him in his crib if he isn't all the way asleep yet he will fall asleep on his own without crying.

Answer

Going to try naps first

Answer

Start with naps there! Then try nights once she is used to sleeping there during the day.  This is a more gradual transition for her and also helps you protect your night zzzs!
