when will LO sleep in their own crib?

monkeypants23

so i havent been on in a while.......  so sorry if this has already been discussed numerous times...

but when are you transferring LO from a bassinet in your room to their own crib?

my baby girl is such a LOUD sleeper- that DH has to sleep with ear plugs in to get any sleep- LOL

she is now 3 weeks old and im thinking about putting her in her own crib at like 6 weeks..... her room is RIGHT next door to our room and we have a monitor- so im not TOO worried- but im just worried if she spits up or something i'll have to run into the other room.....

You could do it now if you wanted to. There is no hard fast rule. Whenever it makes sense for you is the best time

Yep. I can tell you for us it will be a really long time, it has to work for you!

our room is downstairs and all the others are upstairs, so we'll wait until she can reliably sleep through the night. We did this with DS around 5 months and it worked well. We'll also be switching DS to a toddler bed at the same time since he is in the crib now, so we'll have to see how that gos. She only wakes up once a night right now, so I think in general it will be easier for her to STTN, but she is quite content in the RnP in our room.

Mia's crib is in our room so when we go to bed, she goes in the crib.  Once she wakes I take her into bed with us for side-laying breastfeeding.  Sometimes, if I or DH is awake enough, we put her back in the crib.  We only have a 2 bedroom apartment and dont like the idea of putting the crib in with DS so she will stay in our room for awhile - until we are prepared to give up our dining room

Nevaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

 

Syke, I'm totally kidding. We're aiming for 3-4 months, but that all depends on how she's sleeping by then.

To each their own.

I have 3 months stuck in my head for some reason.

We thought our son would be in our room for much longer, but he too is a noisy sleeper. We moved him at about 2.5 weeks, once I felt like I could lift him out of the tall crib with my c/s recovery. DH and I sleep much better now! DS is right across the hall and we have a video monitor, so I'm fine with it.

ETA: He's really only in his crib from about 11 to 4 a.m. at this point. He's restless after about 4 a.m., so I put him in the RNP next to the bed from about 4 a.m. to 7 a.m. for easy access and rocking.

DD is already in there for a majority of the time, she sleeps better in there than she does the PnP, we have a monitor and that's what works for us, DD1 was the same way
