Transferring to crib from Rock n' Play

No flames - but we've been having LO periodically sleep....at night in the RNP. Well, time has come for her to move into her own room. Anyone have experience with this transition? Do we go cold turkey? Do we first use the RNP without motion? Do we start in crib and move back to RNP if the night is horrendous. Right now she sleeps 10 hours straight. It's amazing. But, it's time...

    Our LO slept in the RNP next to our bed for his first three weeks home then we moved him to his crib cold turkey and it's gone great for us. He's not sleeping 10 hours straight, but he wasn't in the RNP either : ) We are all sleeping better now that he is in his crib in his own room.

    We didn't use a RNP but we used the bassinet portion of the PNP and moved DD into her crib end of last week.
    She's much happier and I can hear her just fine with the monitor and not have to wake up and look at her every time she grunts. Her and I both are sleeping a lot better.

    DS has been sleeping either in his since he was born.  That's all we have bed wise for him right now (we will FINALLY get his bed next week!).  We had this travel bassinet thing but he would roll around in it too easily and it made me nervous because he'd roll into the side of it and his little face would be pressed against it.  Anyway, I plan to just quit cold turkey.  The swing is just a loaner so I plan to not have it once we get his regular bed and then our only other option will be the carseat, which he does nap in if he falls asleep in the car and I don't want to wake him, but don't like it for night time sleeping.

    DS slept in it for four or five months. I moved him when he started rolling and was getting to big for it. I put him in the crib for a nap one day and he liked having the space. The transition when pretty smoothly after that.

    I haven't decided what to do with DD. She is still sleeping in it, and I really don't have a problem with keeping her there for awhile longer.

    One suggestion is to start the transition by doing naps in the crib so that they get used to the space.

    My DD slept in hers until she could pull up and roll out of it.  Then she liked having the space.  Why is it "time?"  People make too big of a deal out of this "where they sleep" thing.  If they're sleeping safely, and you're sleeping, then there's no problem.

    You gave me inspiration. We went cold turkey to the crib from RNP. She was sleeping horribly in it and is a loud sleeper. Hoping we all get some rest tonight.
