It's been bassinet city up until now but I want him to get used to the crib because my MIL is coming in a few weeks to watch him while we go to vegas. ?and oh yeah... she's living with us for 3 months too while I try to get into the daycare I want so I really want him to have a good bedtime routine going.

any advice or tips?? ?should we go for it since it's not a week night??

Go for it!  We did it at 2 months and it really was not as bad as I feared.  I'm sure Casey will do great!  And you will have your bedroom back!

I did naps first. When i had more energy to deal with her if she wasnt taking to the crib well. She did awesome! I had no issues transitioning!

Give it a shot! If it doesnt work you can always try again tomorrow!

I personally don't think there is any difference at all between bassinet and the crib, so go for it!

And wow, 3 months??? I hope you really like her. :-)  That's nice of her to stay with you that long. 

Vegas, huh? Sounds like a blast!

Well, he's sleeping in the crib right now!! ?fingers crossed!!

she's nice... but she's still my MIL ya know? ?our house is 3 bed 1 bath so it gets really small, really fast. ?she's older - almost 70 and retired. ?you're right, it is nice of her. ?she would be in heaven if we asked her to move out here for good (which isn't going to happen). ?

yes, vegas - we can not wait!!! ?I'll be thinking about my little boy and wondering if he's doing okay and getting what he needs the entire time though I just know it. ?ugh. ??

Yeah, you will. But I am sure that at some point you will just be enjoying your cocktail and thinking..wow. I'm in Vegas. And I have a healthy beautiful boy waiting at home for me..and I'm feeling gooooooooood.

eeek! 

yes, definitely try it - I started by putting Avery in the crib for naps (yeah right, she never took naps until she started STTN)   We had her in the crib by 4 months.  And as soon as she went into her crib, she refuses to sleep any where else.

good good luck!!!
