How many LO's are in their crib?

I've been gone since I had my little girl over 3 months ago! I can't believe how busy those girls keep me and how fast the time is going!!!
I was wondering how many of your supermoms out there already have your LO sleeping in their crib at night?
My DD is still sleeping in her rock n play next to my bed at night. I'm dreading the transition to getting her to sleep on her back in her crib but I think we're both really craving a set routine of her sleeping in her own quiet room.

Re: How many LO's are in their crib?
Our girl naps in her crib occasionally and does pretty well with it most of the time. She's outgrown her bassinet now so I was planning on moving her into her pack & play for nights since her room is on a different floor than our room, but last night she was moving around her waking herself up since the material can be a little noisy even with a sheet over it. Now I'm debating just transitioning her to her crib upstairs. I know they say to keep them in your room until 6 months to prevent SIDS, but we have a video monitor to keep an eye on her with a pretty sensitive audio feature. What would you all recommend?
Thanks!
If she wakes at 2 or 3 then back in the crib but if it around 5 her normal then I bring her in the rnp next to me. It's more for me than her.

My DS1 and now my DS2 started in the crib in their own room from the first night. Mainly because I was too cheap to buy a bassinet, and we never bought a swing or pack 'n play since we didn't want them to take up more space. Plus the nursery is right outside our bedroom. My DS1 was not a great sleeper, and rarely STTN. DS2 has STTN since 2 weeks old ans I feel extremely fortunate.
THIS!! I'm currently trying to break DS of his nap swing addiction and its rough...
My LO has been in her crib for about a month and a half. She started sleeping thru the night at 6 weeks but I kept her in our room for a week because I thought it was a fluke.
She sleeps much better by herself then she ever did with us.
We put DS in his crib when we got home from the hospital. It was so hard for me (literally stared at the video monitor for days) but this was a piece of advice that many people gave me including my sister. He is now 11 weeks and sleeps through the night. He also takes his naps in there too. He loves his crib and goes down right away. I'm glad the routine has worked since he will be going to daycare come September. My sister started with naps in the crib then moved to sleeping at night.
We started transitioning our LO to the crib around 6-7 weeks. He was sleeping in our room in his swing (it would run all night). For the first couple of weeks every few days he would wake up crying and not go back to sleep in his crib, so we'd put him back in the swing, but after awhile he stayed sleeping in the crib and we never looked back! Now I just have to get him to nap in his crib...
LO sleeps in a cradle at the side of our bed. She will transition out of that when she is too big for it and into the crib in our room. To reduce SIDS risk, it is recommended LO sleeps in room for 6 months, we'll be keeping her in our room (because of our own parenting beliefs) for a year and then will reassess and will probably move her to her own room. I don't think switching to the crib will be a challenge because the cradle is the same as the crib, just smaller, and it can swing.
A lot of mamas are transitioning from the RnP to the crib (and are finding some success) by using the PnP during naps throughout the day (or putting LO in the crib for naps).
We had an agreement that once LO was solidly STTN, we would move him to the crib. He took naps in there off and on since bringing him home and really seemed comfortable/to like it, so that was encouraging. For the most part, he slept in our room in a bassinet or downstairs in the PnP if someone was sleeping on the couch.
We starting putting him in his crib fulltime at night Monday of this week. And it's working out great! DH and I are getting more sleep now that all of his little piggy noises aren't constantly waking us up!
His room is at an angle, separated from ours by a small bathroom. So, when you walk to our door you can see his crib 15/20 feet in front of you. The sound shoots right into our room, so we have no problem hearing him at all. It's a pretty good setup for now!
