We started purees this weekend and his reflux was better so I decided to go for it. Now I feel like we've gone too far to go back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009506 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 08:30:53 +0000 heartonastring 1009506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am terrified of this! I'm waiting until I can get my hands on a Merlin's Magic Sleepsuit before I attempt it.</p> <p>I hope it gets better for you soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009481 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 08:18:02 +0000 blackbird 1009481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg this scares me soooo badly. We washed our RnP Thursday night and E slept AWFUL. The worst night ever. I'm scarred. And she barfed everywhere like a maniac (reflux...but she rolls around in an inclined crib) I am so scared to transition her to a crib in a few months :( </p> <p>I'll be keeping an eye out to see what works for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009365 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:23:40 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1009365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is the one we have </p> <p><a href="http://www.adenandanais.com/shop/itemdisplay.aspx?ID=380&#038;SKU=9301" rel="nofollow">http://www.adenandanais.com/shop/itemdisplay.aspx?ID=380&#038;SKU=9301</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009361 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:21:58 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1009361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ooh! I forgot to mention that our dream blanket is the bamboo one. They are sooo much softer than the muslin! I must look into this adult sized one...and start saving! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009356 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:20:17 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1009356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: I haven't tried putting him on his side. I keep telling him that if he would just roll over he could lay on his tummy because he loves that for nap time. I may try the swaddle again. Thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009355 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:19:52 +0000 hellobeeboston 1009355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: ahh, that makes sense - he is/was a good napper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009344 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:16:02 +0000 petunia354 1009344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't transition until like 6.5 months, so it was a bit tough for us as well! We found out pretty quick that he wanted to sleep on his side and then shortly thereafter, he became a tummy sleeper. Have you tried putting him on his side? Also, we went back to swadding (arms out) because he liked the snugness of the rnp and the crib felt to wide open for him, if that makes sense. I think the feeling of having a blanket wrapped tight across his chest helped him to feel cuddled, or snug, like he did in the RNP. Good luck!! He'll get the hang of it soon, I'm sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009329 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:09:55 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1009329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: I'm doing the opposite of what you did. He has never been a consistent napper, so I'm moving him to the crib at night and letting him nap in the rnp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009323 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:07:29 +0000 hellobeeboston 1009323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started doing the sleep sack with the transition btw.... And we would put him to sleep at night in the crib, but when he woke, moved him to RNP... First night he made it like 1/2 an hour, next night an hour, then he did 3, then I think 6/7 then the whole night. Took about a week and we were done with the rock n play. </p> <p>We also started doing naps in the crib first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009322 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:07:08 +0000 Ms.SK 1009322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: They do make adult size blankets:</p> <p><a href="http://www.adenandanais.com/shop/daydreamblankets.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.adenandanais.com/shop/daydreamblankets.aspx</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009321 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:06:25 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1009321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The blanket is big, so I fold it into fourths and lay it on top. When we first started I was a nervous Nellie about having a blanket in his crib, so I only folded it in half and then tucked two sides between the crib mattress and rails. Now that I have seen that he doesn't really move the blanket much during the night I fold it into fourths and lay it on top. I never found that I needed to tuck it around him. The blanket is super expensive (to me) and I lusted after it for a good 2 months before I decided to buy it....but now that I have I wish I had gotten it sooner! It is heavy, but it is also breathable and soft, and isn't stiff like a lot of heavier blankets are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009318 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:05:06 +0000 hellobeeboston 1009318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's going to be OK!! We went from the Rnp to the crib also - we did a slow transition but it went well and he sleeps great!! You can do it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009315 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:02:19 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1009315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: did you wrap LL's legs like a swaddle or just lay the blanket on top? I don't know of the dream blanket, I'm off to research now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009298 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 06:47:12 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1009298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a heavy blanket on LL's legs...it helped him so much. At first I would put the blanket on him while he was falling asleep and then take it off when we went to bed, but now I just leave it. I LOOVEEE the Aden Anias dream blanket! I wish they made a grown up size for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009297 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 06:44:39 +0000 Adira 1009297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: Ahh, I understand. Well, I'm sure that once he's used to it, he'll start sleeping like a champ again! Hopefully it just doesn't take too long for him to get used to it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009292 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 06:41:58 +0000 edelweiss 1009292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it will definitely get better! little guy is just getting used to the new surroundings. we didn't use an rnp, but due to reflux issues i did use a wedge in the crib with rolled up A+A blankets on each side of LO when he was first in his crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009291 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 06:40:51 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1009291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I think his issue is relaxing his legs. As soon as he wakes up he pulls them up off the mattress into the position they would be in if he were in the rnp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009287 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 06:36:51 +0000 Adira 1009287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The RNP has a bit of an incline to it, right? Do you think he might sleep better if you got one of those crib wedges so he sleeps at an incline in his crib too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-transition-someone-hold-me#post-1009282 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 06:35:17 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1009282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have used the RNP since birth and just started transitioning to the crib. The first night he woke almost hourly, but last night he woke nearly every half hour. Tell me it's going to be alright. Please! </p>
