Transition from RnP to crib

charpe

Intro... I'm new to this board from Sept 2013. DD is 3.5 mos old.

We successfully transitioned her from a bassinet in our room to her crib about a month ago. Then she got a horrible cold and I let her sleep in her RnP for a week... Just because the poor thing was so congested that I thought the incline would be helpful. Apparently, I screwed myself because getting her to sleep in her crib now is a nightmare! I'll put her down for the night around 9-930pm, and she wakes up crying every 15-20 mins until at least midnight. I can soothe her very quickly back to sleep and then she's crying again 15 mins later. This has been going on for the last 4 nights. If I put her in the RnP, she's totally fine. She is still swaddled at night...
Any advice for a smoother transition?!

Agreed with previous poster. I also think if you just keep doing what  you are doing, she'll eventually go back to sleeping in the crib. Just gotta be patient and consistent.  Good luck!

I just went cold turkey last night and he adapted quickly...I did put a white noise machine in there with a ceiling projector and he seems to really love that! Good luck

I'm right with you on this one except Lo loves his swing.  He has such bad post nasal drip, it causes him to not sleep well.  I did buy a mattress wedge and put it on one end.  He still only sleeps for 2 hours before waking again in the crib.  I've put him back in the swing for last night and tonight due to the weather.  I am in the South, and it's 10 degrees at night.  NOT use to this crap! LO is like me and hates the cold.  So..... guess we will start trying Wednesday!
