Transferring baby to the crib
When do you plan on transferring your little one to the crib/own room? Or when did you? My little guy is 2 months old, but I would like to start transferring him to the crib in a couple weeks. He’s definitely moving around the bassinet a lot. His pediatrician also thinks he will turn over sooner because of his smaller size. Any tips for getting them to sleep in their crib? Just nervous about him being in another room. TIA!

I felt a lot of pressure to keep my first in our room for a while... We waited until 7 months then I was like, your keeping us up and we are keeping you up, time for you to go, lol (We are down stairs and nursery is upstairs so we also took into account the number of night feed and how frequently we would have to do the stairs in our decision, lol)
We’ve had him in the crib since birth. We did it by moving a single bed into the room with him and we would take turns sleeping in there. Just in the last couple weeks we’ve been sleeping in our own room with the monitor close by so that we can go in if he needs us. The room is just next to us. Not far away. He turns two months next week.

I started having her sleep in the bassinet in her room at 1 month old. She was fine because we put the bassinet that was in our room in hers so she didn't go through too much change at once. Honestly, it was harder for me than her. I would wake up constantly to check the monitor or I would get up and go see her just to make sure. It took me a few weeks to adjust. We transitioned her from the bassinet to her crib at 2 months. It was seemless since she was already used to her room. Honestly do what you are comfortable with. I hope this helps.
