Parenting after a Loss

Moving to the nursery

When/how did you move lo into their own room? Annabelle currently sleeps in a R&P in our room but now that she's generally only waking up once a night I'm starting to wonder when we should move her to her own room and how exactly to go about doing it. We still have a hard time putting her down in anything but the R&P so I don't know how we'd get her into her crib so I'm wondering if we should just move her R&P into her room and deal with the crib later on, or try to just get it all over with at once. 

How old was your lo when you moved him/her into her own room and how did you go about doing it? I'd appreciate any advice you ladies have to share. I'm still not even sure I'm ready to move her yet but I'm trying to get an idea of what others did. Also we EBF if that makes a difference, not sure if that influences when others decide to move their los. 

Re: Moving to the nursery

  • I was going to tonight but chickened out. We have him in the rnp, too, and we're going to get a mini PNP that will fit in our room to start transitioning to a flat surface, but still have him nearby. He is 10 weeks. We will start with naps in his crib, t

  • I keep chickening out. DS also sleeps in the RnP in our room. We have tried doing naps in his crib, but DS is an awful napper. We ended up putting his RnP LO his room during the day to get a slightly better nap. I know it is mean, but I am letting day

  • We moved him to the crib about 4-5m.  I still kept him in the RnP for naps.  We had the crib in our room, though, until about a month later.  

    The moving from the RnP issue may be a security issue.  The crib is a vast, wide op

  • We transitioned to the crib in her own room around 12w. We did it one step at a time. When she was a NB she was swaddled in the NB napper thing on the PnP in our room. Then we moved to swaddled in the PnP, then sleep sack in the PnP. Then finally sleep sa

  • We moved her over at 6 weeks.  There wasn't any prep, one night she was in her bassinet, the next night she went to the crib.  Our main reason was that she was waking up frequently to eat (every 2 hours) and there wasn't really any added conveni

  • DS had been in the nursery but then got a really bad cold and still has it, so now he is in the RNP at the side of our bed. He will remain there until he is over his cold.

  • DD slept in a PnP in our room until she was about 3 and a half months old. One weekend we just put her in her room, and we actually stopped swaddling her at the same time, too. I think she was just ready, because she slept just fine in there. Part of it m

  • I started moving LO into his crib around 5 weeks.  I spent two weeks having him nap in his crib, & then sleep in his RnP.  Once he became used to his crib, he started to prefer it over the RnP.  As for BF, I have been BF him in his room

  • DD moved into her crib at 4 months. Before that she was in a bassinet in our room. The transition was pretty easy since she was used to laying flat

    DS will move about the same time 4 months to a crib
