7.5m & moving out of RnP tonight

Nervous!! Lydia is pretty tiny so she still fits quite nicely, but she is pulling herself up to sitting in it. I don't strap her in because of the sleep sack, so she is oing to move to the pnp in our room tonight. Have been saying this or months, but I reallllly need to get her a crib!  

Any tips for the first few nights out of the RnP? She is a great sleeper, but I am still nervous it is going to be a rough few nights!

    Odds are she'll adjust fine, but you'll be a nervous wreck!  Have you thought about maybe having her nap in it so she gets used to being in the pack and play and it's slightly easier for you if there are problems (since it isn't the middle of the night)

    Lady, I will be SO SO curious to hear how this goes for you!    Harrison is still in the RNP, and every so often I try to put him down to nap or to sleep in his crib....   Yeah, he wakes up after 10 or 20 minutes.   I am terrified of the day we have to force the transition!   The kid has never slept on a flat surface for more than a few minutes.   

    Good luck!!!!   I hope she surprises everyone and sleeps like a champ right away!

    Yep, every time I try to get a crib nap out of her in Eliza's crib, she is awake in 20min. I think we had one or two longer stretches, but yeah, I'm not expecting it to go well. Ugh, then when I get the crib, I need to transition her to another new sleeping apparatus and environment. Fun times. I remember it going better than I expected with Eliza though...

    We unswaddled and moved to the crib (from the RNP) cold turkey at 5 months.  Its hard to say if things got worse or not, because his sleep was TERRIBLE at that point, so we figured we had nothing to lose ;)  he was a great roller by then though, so we actually transitioned by letting him sleep on his tummy. 

    good luck!  I hope its an easy transition for you both!

    I was prepared for a difficult transition but was pleasantly surprised. I tried napping them some in their cribs. We were also moving them out of our room. Sarah did a good job. We stood by her crib until she fell asleep. Emily spent one night in the nursery still in her RnP. For a few nights, we rocked her to sleep and placed her in the crib.  Then we were able to put her down drowsy and I put my hand on her to calm her down until she fell asleep. I also had to keep putting her pacifier back in her mouth. Within a week, we put them down after reading two stories, walk out, and they fall to sleep on their own.

    This is my plan...as soon as he is rolling, we will unswaddle and put him in the crib...where hopefully he will be a super happy tummy sleeper.   Sounds brutal to do it all at once, but I just can't imagine having to go through more than one big transition.  (fwiw, Anna had no problem whatsoever going from PNP to her crib!)
