switching to crib.

classybride143

hey ladies!  When did you switch your little one into the crib?  My son is starting to look like he's too big for the bassinet but he's been sleeping so well (goes to bed at 9:30 and wakes between 5 and 7) in the bassinet that im afraid to move him into the crib?  My other son made the transition very well but i have a feeling that Nicky will not...lol.  Hoping i'm wrong!!

DD is still in the bassinet.  DS#1 switched over at 4 months.  My kids are gonna share a room tho, so I am waiting for DD to STTN (at least a little better than now) before switching her over

In the next few weeks. I always planned on around 4 months. I haven't started yet, but like I said plan to very soon. I've started now by putting her down in her crib for naps. She fought it at first, but she will nap in there now.

We switched DS to the crib when he was about 3.5 months.  If you're worried about transitioning I've heard of people taking the bassinet off of the stand and putting it in the crib for a few nights before going into the crib.  We just did a straight switch and he slept just the same.

We started putting her in the crib for naps between weeks 7-8. We made so many mistakes re: sleeping when she was a newborn ( like KEEPING her awake thinking she would sleep at night...I didn't know it didn't work like that until she was 8 weeks old, poor thing!) So when I say "naps" I use the term loosely. However, a little after she was 8 weeks, we put her in her crib at night, after her bath and it was the FIRST night she actually slept well (we were co-sleeping before then and it just wasn't working for anyone). She slept 6:30-1am, ate, slept 1:30am-5am, ate, slept 6am-8am. It was a miracle and she has never looked back. Now she usually sleeps 7pm-5am (although we have off days and weeks every once in a while).

Do it confidently..they can sense fear, lol! GL!

We moved Kamaya into her crib when she was 11 weeks old.  We established a bed time routine when she was pretty little and that seemned to help a ton because when we went threw the whole routine she knew it was time to sleep even though it was in a different room.
