Transitioned my baby into his crib last night...

Courtney

Hi everyone! I posted yesterday about wondering if any of you had used the Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit and got some good replies about it. My husband and I decided we wanted to try it last night and also decided to give him sleeping in his crib a try as well. He has been sleeping in the Rock ‘N Play next to our bed since around 3 weeks (he’s 14 weeks now) but he will be too big for it very soon. So I was very nervous for this transition but it went very well! We put him down in the suit around 6:50 last night (since he didn’t take a long enough afternoon nap and was pretty sleepy) and didn’t rock him or anything. We just turned on his mobile and his white noise, gave him goodnight kisses, and walked out of the room. He kicked his legs around a little bit and “talked” to his mobile but within 15 minutes he was asleep. He woke up around 1:30 to eat and self settled after eating and put himself back to sleep until 6:00 this morning. He only whined a little one time and I just put his pacifier in and he instantly fell back to sleep. I really couldn’t believe how easy it was last night. Being rocked in the Rock ‘N Play for weeks made me feel like laying still would be an issue for him but I really think the suit may have helped him. I’m trying not to get my hopes up in the event that last night was a fluke but I’m trying to stay optimistic. It’s so nice having our bedroom back and not having to tiptoe around when we are ready to go to bed. Anyone else having success with transitioning your baby to the crib?
