We use a white noise machine and give him an a&amp;a blanket with a pacifier. The only universal trick I think is to stay consistent. If he woke up I would soothe him and put him back in his crib. Sometimes I was waking every 2 hours but now he will sleep through it only wake once. Some kids love things too like a lovey or swaddle, but that doesn't work for everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transition-baby-into-crib#post-2544101 Mon, 09 May 2016 05:01:10 +0000 catomd00 2544101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched at 4 months. It was no big deal, we just did it one night. It did suck having to get out of bed to nurse though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transition-baby-into-crib#post-2544053 Sun, 08 May 2016 21:35:20 +0000 Hoots 2544053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @meganmp. We just did it one night. I was super worried because she hated the crib for naps. She's still doesn't take naps very well in her crib, but she does night with no issues. Things that helped me personally but had no impact on her were having an audio only monitor with a lower sensitivity setting so I wasn't waking up with her every peep, having a video monitor that I could turn on when necessary to get a look at her, and the owlet monitor. Because of the owlet, I never go into her room just to check on her, which I thinks help her sleep a lot better. Probably overkill, but it works for us and helps me get sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transition-baby-into-crib#post-2544003 Sun, 08 May 2016 19:57:15 +0000 Run2shore 2544003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 5.5 months and we are transitioning her to crib now. We do all naps in the crib. Then I would put her down for the night (7) in the crib and when she woke up around 11, I would bring her in bed for the rest of the night. I thought it would be easy to eventually stop bringing her into the bed but it really hasn't been. So I gave in and bought a magic Merlin. It is amazing!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transition-baby-into-crib#post-2543997 Sun, 08 May 2016 19:24:01 +0000 macintosh 2543997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Start with naps. Use a sleep sack. Does she have a lovey or paci? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transition-baby-into-crib#post-2543987 Sun, 08 May 2016 19:00:00 +0000 delight 2543987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we transitioned, she was feeding twice a night. After she had her second feed, which was about 5am, I put her in the crib for the rest of her overnight sleep which was just a couple hours. Then I started putting her down for naps in crib as well and after a week or so she was full time in crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transition-baby-into-crib#post-2543985 Sun, 08 May 2016 18:54:19 +0000 catlady 2543985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a nightmare of a time doing this transition. I won't go into the gory details, but after weeks of horrible sleep (waking like 8-10x per night), we finally had to sleep train at around 5 months. That worked like a charm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transition-baby-into-crib#post-2543971 Sun, 08 May 2016 18:17:16 +0000 hellobeeboston 2543971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with naps. Then just did it one night. Worked out great. It was time, he was waking 2-3x a night next to me (7 months old), and is now sleeping through or only up once. </p> <p>Sleep sack, and we use an A&amp;A lovey that he loves. Calms him right down if he wakes. And white noise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transition-baby-into-crib#post-2543938 Sun, 08 May 2016 15:19:24 +0000 meganmp 2543938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did it one night- worked woth no problems! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transition-baby-into-crib#post-2543937 Sun, 08 May 2016 15:18:15 +0000 Keybee 2543937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's taken A nap in the crib... Perhaps I should be more consistent with that . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transition-baby-into-crib#post-2543932 Sun, 08 May 2016 14:42:38 +0000 jhd 2543932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does LO take naps in the crib? We started by putting him down for naps in his crib and once he was good at that we started putting him in his crib for night time sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transition-baby-into-crib#post-2543924 Sun, 08 May 2016 14:31:20 +0000 Keybee 2543924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 5 months. It's time for us to move her to her own room. I don't want to, I love having her close, but we are keeping each other up at night, nobody is getting enough sleep. It's just time.<br /> What's your advice? </p>
