It was completely painless, to be honest. We did it half the night at first. She would be in there until her first wakeup around 2/3am and then she would spend the rest of the night in her swing. After about a week or so, we started putting her back down in her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-lo-sleeping-at-night-when-you-transitioned-to-a-crib#post-1003684 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 10:34:00 +0000 heartonastring 1003684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're still working on getting her into the crib, but she's been in her own room for about a week or two now (she's 15 weeks). We are all sleeping better this way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-lo-sleeping-at-night-when-you-transitioned-to-a-crib#post-1003682 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 10:32:50 +0000 Adira 1003682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We transitioned Xander to his crib at 3 months and he was sleeping around 6-7 hours at night. I think moving him to his own room was better because we stopped waking each other up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-lo-sleeping-at-night-when-you-transitioned-to-a-crib#post-1003671 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 10:31:14 +0000 dojo 1003671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are needing to transition to the crib at 5.5 months (LO is getting too big for our arms-reach cosleeper). Right now he will sleep a 5-7 hour stretch. We tried it once last week and he was waking up every hour or two so we went back to our room and I've been trying to have him nap in the crib to get more used to it. I think we are going to try again this weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-lo-sleeping-at-night-when-you-transitioned-to-a-crib#post-1003597 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 10:12:16 +0000 Ra 1003597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: If you are worried about peace of mind, don't they have those Angel Care monitors that sets off an alarm if they stop breathing? </p> <p>My mom told me about them the other day. I am thinking about getting one for when we make the transition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-lo-sleeping-at-night-when-you-transitioned-to-a-crib#post-1003596 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 10:12:15 +0000 travellingbee 1003596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He did actually sleep longer in the crib than in our room. I think he was sleeping about 4 hour chunks in our room and then started STTN in crib. BUT then the 4 month regression hit. Boo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-lo-sleeping-at-night-when-you-transitioned-to-a-crib#post-1003592 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 10:10:41 +0000 Rubies 1003592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We transitioned to a crib at 3.5 months in order to sleep-train DD. She was only getting 2-4 hour stretches of sleep and it was getting out of control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-lo-sleeping-at-night-when-you-transitioned-to-a-crib#post-1003584 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 10:09:20 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1003584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably only 4-hour stretches ... so I was still up at least twice a night. But I definitely slept better when he was in his own room. He was older, though. Like 11-12 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-lo-sleeping-at-night-when-you-transitioned-to-a-crib#post-1003549 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 09:59:50 +0000 Bookish 1003549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I am lucky! We weren't planning on moving her for a while, but she started waking up at 430-5, and that point I don't mind getting up for the day, so I figure she's good to move. </p> <p>@Pink Champagne: I think I might. It being the weekend, this is a good a time as any to try it out. I think it would definitely help *my* sleep, because every little noise wakes me up! I figure the monitor will keep the quiet noises away :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-lo-sleeping-at-night-when-you-transitioned-to-a-crib#post-1003486 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 09:44:08 +0000 Pink Champagne 1003486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We transitioned to the crib at around 8 weeks, so before LO was STTN, and it actually made everyone sleep better. Sooooo... Maybe just bite the bullet and do it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-lo-sleeping-at-night-when-you-transitioned-to-a-crib#post-1003473 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 09:39:37 +0000 cmomma17 1003473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 16 weeks and I haven't been able to bring myself to do this yet! He still wakes up 2x a night to nurse though, and it's just easier to grab him and bring him into bed.</p> <p>Sounds like you've got a good little sleeper - lucky! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-lo-sleeping-at-night-when-you-transitioned-to-a-crib#post-1003397 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 09:15:20 +0000 Bookish 1003397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over the last couple of weeks, G's sleep has gotten longer and longer at night. This week she started sleeping 7 hr stretches, and last night slept from 8:30-5! She's currently sleeping in our room in a PnP, and since we don't go to bed until 10 or 11, we are tiptoeing around her when we get ready for bed.</p> <p>I want to start transitioning her to her crib at night, but I'm worried it will screw up this lovely, long sleep! I'm also worried I'm not ready for her to go at a little over 5 weeks!</p> <p>What were y'alls experiences with moving LO to a crib/another room? Did it screw up their sleep? Or make you too paranoid to sleep?? I don't *have* to move her, so I'm really just looking to see what everyone's experience was! </p>
