Any tips to help baby like her crib?

Even the slightest bit??

She used to sleep in a bassinet for 10+ hours a night. She'd put herself asleep, she'd gently wake up- it was nice (trust me- we had months where she never slept and only screamed and a lot of other rough patches so it wasn't always that easy lol).

Now that she's 6 months, we've moved her crib into our room (same spot as her bassinet to keep routine) and are trying to get her to sleep in it. She HATES it! We tried the packnplay and she hates that even worse.

I've tried the "let her cry for this many minutes this many times" thing and that doesn't do anything.

It also isn't helping that she cut two teeth in one week, but she was this way before too.

I think the issue is that the crib feels so huge and open to her??

Does anyone have any good tips out there? I'd appreciate them!

We have as much of a routine set in place as we can with a baby, so she knows it's bedtime, she just loses it when she's in her crib.

Here's a pic of her too since she's a cutie 😍
