When will you transition out of the rock n play? Have you tried already?

DD loves sleeping at an incline... I have tried naps in her crib and they last no longer than 30 minutes, and leave her quite fussy. She normally naps for an hour at a time. I am dreading the night when I transition to her pack n play...

We made the move about a month ago and I put a pillow under the mattress so it had a slight incline to it. Seemed to help and I've since removed the pillow. Jack now sleeps in his crib 100% of the time.

Zoe only naps in the RNP. She usually sleeps in bed with me at night. I can't really transition her out until we move because the toddler is still in the crib which is converted to a toddler bed.

That is a great idea! Will have to try that for her next nap! Yay!

We weaned DS off the RnP since he was 1 month old.

From the very beginning, at bedtime, we would start him in the RnP (he falls asleep there better when he's fussy). After MOTN feeds when he's much more drowsy, we put him in the crib where he spends the rest of the night.

By 1 month, we started putting him in the crib from the very beginning, and we hadn't needed to go back to the RnP at all. In fact, we've already lent it to our friends (they have a 2w old newborn).

When she gets close to outgrowing it. I'm all for not rocking the boat until we have to.

We transitioned our babies around 6/7 weeks.

I started by moving their RnPs into their room, then after 2-3 nights of that, I moved them into their cribs. Both of mine have reflux so we elevated one end of the crib with some bed risers so they'd still be on an incline. One downside to this is that they'll slide if you have a wiggle worm! We solved this issue by rolling up a receiving blanket into a U-shape and putting it under the fitted sheet to cup their little bottoms (almost like a swing) so they wouldn't slide. This also helps because they feel "something" hugging them a bit like the RnP does.

It was really a much easier transition than I anticipated. FWIW - I've got crappy nappers - lol. They'll only nap for 30-45 minutes in their cribs but they'll go 4-5 hours, sometimes even 7-8 hours, at night in them!

GL!

I'm dreading this also. I think I'm going to wait until she's 3 months, so a week, and start with the pnp in our room so shes flat but still in our room and then move her to her crib when she's 4 or 5 months. Everyone has great ideas!

Amen.

We at the three month mark and I'm starting to make the transition. For the past week, we've been putting LO in his crib for naps, but still using the RnP at night. My hope is that by next week, LO is in the crib after his 3 AM feeding and see how he does for that stretch before getting up in the morning.

Hopefully by about 4 months, since out addition and his bedroom won't be done until then. He does well in there for naps so maybe it won't be too bad!!

At 11 weeks we transitioned DS into his crib. He was sttn so it was an easy transition. It was harder for me than it was for him. So GL
