Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Crib Transition from RnP and Losing Swaddle

DD is 4 months and sleeps at night and naps in Rock n Play swaddled.  She loves to be swaddled and her startle reflex appears to still be strong.  Since she is starting daycare in 6 weeks I would like to transition her to crib and lose the swaddle.  She will be expected to nap in a crib at daycare. Any tips for the transition? Should I first lose the swaddle and have her sleep in RnP? And then transition to crib? Just trying To figure out the best order to do this without driving myself insane ;-) She currently sleeps 12 hrs at night so I'm hesitant to make any change, but necessary..

  • I would get yourself a Merlin's magic sleep suit. They're really magic. Maybe try naps in the crib and see how that goes before nighttime sleep is interrupted.

  • with both my girls... we first transitioned them from the RNP to the crib.  Once they were adjusted, we unswaddled one arm for a few night, then two arms, then no swaddle.  They did fine and continued to sleep well.  Good luck!

  • I just successfully transferred my LO from RnP to crib but no swaddle, she has a huge hand fixation since birth so swaddling wasn't gunna fly. My advice start naps on your bed or crib. I have to lay with my LO to get her to nap so she naps on
