Transitioning to crib

jdveatch

Like several others, we have our LO sleeping next to us in a RNP.  I know we need to start thinking about transitioning him to his room & crib.  When are you all planning to do that?  Any suggestions re: how to make a smooth transition?  I've tried a few nap times in there.  We have a video monitor...I'm afraid I'll be up all night watching & listening to the monitor!!!  LOL!  My other fear is the opposite...that I'll sleep soundly & NOT hear him at all since the gurgling, grunting, breathing, etc. isn't right beside me!  Let me know what you think, Blog Sistas!

My pedi recommends room sharing until 4 months due to decreased SIDS risk. Anyone else?

I am not planning to move ds to crib in his room until we dont need the furnace on. He had too many problems with keeping his body temp out of hypothermic temps for his first few weeks so I am just not comfortable putting him where I cant just reach over
