crib transition

littlebean4

So LO is 14 weeks.  She currently sleeps in her RnP and sleeps from 7-6 with a wake up feed at 5am, so needlas to say, shes a great night time sleeper. It wasn't always this easy so I am dreading the crib transition.  Shes definitely getting too big for her RnP and in the morning I find her all scrunched at the bottom which I hate, so I know I have to move her....but HOW?? She's such a bad napper, 25 mins tops and every once in a while I try the crib for naps, and this week ive done the crib for all naps and of course theyre still crappy.  I also put her in it whenever I get the chance to just hang out.  The past couple of nights Ive started her in it and she'll either last 40mins tops or wake up immediately when I place her in it (yes I rock her to sleep).  What should I do?? Just plop her in and don't give in and every time she gets up continuously put her back in..aahhh I don't know what to do?!?!

Our little guy is only 5 weeks and we're anticipating this in the coming weeks.  I want to get him settled with the crib transition for at least a couple weeks before I return to work in June.  I also tried a nap the other day when we was already out and sure enough he lasted only about a half hour.  I think when it comes down to it we'll just have to bite our lip and likely try the cry it out method a little bit.  Hopefully it won't come to that.  Good luck to you!

We didn't do any transition per se, just put him in it and that was that.  He was 8 weeks old.  He didn't sleep as well as usual the first night.

He still naps pretty crappily in the crib but sleeps in there just great at night.

LO was sleeping in her crib nightly since we have her crib in our room. During the day she sleeps (if she does) in her bassinet.  I would suggest making the move while she has fallen asleep.
