LO's first night in his own room

kwinkle1980

We moved his crib today. We meant to do it a month ago, but it never worked out--the crib is too wide to scoot through the doorways so we have to disassemble it. 

He is asleep right now in his big boy room, and I am a mixture of sadness and pride. I feel like this has been the fastest 6 months of my life, and by far the best.

Sniff!

Ughhhh this was sooooo hard for us....I mean ME!  We did it at 4 months BUT he is still with me after his first waking. DH and I will do a full time transisition when he is 6 months. I pray it goes well and maybe this will be what he needs to SLEEP and STAY asleep!!!!

This was harder for us than it was for her. I hope the night went good. You need to update us.

How did it go??

My husband and I bought a monitor a few days ago and last night I was ready to try A in her bedroom in her crib after her 1st waking. She always go back into the pack n play easily after that first waking so I thought it would be a good way to get a few hours of crib time in without it being too upsetting.

She was completely out when I put her in the crib. It was excellent.

I walked to our room, turned the video monitor on and saw she was thrashing her arms a little. Then she stopped but her eyes were WIDE open. This was followed by screaming, the monitor being turned off, A being rocked back to sleep and brought back to our room to be put into her pack n play for 3 more hours of sleep.

Aww...hope it works out for you!  My husband has been trying to get me to move my LO into her room...but I don't want to do it!    It's going to be so hard for me!

E just turned 6 months and we're just about ready to try getting him to sleep in his own room instead of the co-sleeper. He's been waking a lot lately, so I'm nervous how it will go. Also a little anxious about having him in another room all night long. I can't help thinking about all kinds of emergencies, etc.! I'll probably still bedshare part of the night, but it would be good to have some time alone in our bedroom when we go to bed, lol.

Update: It went well! I slept better, and so did he. When he would wake up and grumble, I left him alone and each time he was back asleep within minutes. I was only up with him 3 times, as opposed to 8!
