I've heard from people (and now some PPs) that sooner is better than later.</p> <p>This morning he went down for his nap ok, and then woke up at the 33 minute mark.. I went in and gave him back his soother (he spits it out after he falls asleep) and sat there with him. After 10 minutes he fell back asleep for another 45 mins!! HUGE win in this house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-plan-re-rnp-to-crib-transition#post-1706996 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 10:35:52 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1706996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you can do it sooner, I think that's great! We did the RnP/cosleeping to crib switch all at once when I sleep trained. She was 6 months though, so a little older! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-plan-re-rnp-to-crib-transition#post-1706941 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 10:20:04 +0000 Adira 1706941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never used the RNP, but Xander used to nap and go to bed in his swing (and then would transition to a bassinet after his first MOTN wake-up). We transitioned to the crib right around 3 months because I wanted him used to it for daycare and because he was going to be too big for the bassinet. Plus one of my coworkers told me horror stories of her son not being able to sleep anywhere except the crib even though he was way too big for it, so I figured the sooner the better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-plan-re-rnp-to-crib-transition#post-1706906 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 10:06:13 +0000 gilmoregirl 1706906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: How did you decide to put him in the crib now? We're facing the swing to crib transition, and my baby's almost 11 weeks. I just can't decide when to go for. I think I'm afraid of messing with his pretty good night sleep... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-plan-re-rnp-to-crib-transition#post-1706252 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 22:12:41 +0000 sandy 1706252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My general approach is good habits are much easier to instill the younger they are...not always and not for everyone but in my group of friends those that put things off had a harder time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-plan-re-rnp-to-crib-transition#post-1706219 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 21:36:23 +0000 Zbug 1706219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No real advice on the rnp. We transitioned from the rnp to cosleeping, so there's that :)</p> <p>I wouldn't worry too much abt the naps though. Thirty min naps are so annoying, but short naps are unfortunately pretty common at that age. I think most babies start to consolidate naps around 5-6 months, so at least naps should get better then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-plan-re-rnp-to-crib-transition#post-1706209 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 21:24:40 +0000 fussygal 1706209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Subscribing because we are also rocking the million tiny naps pers day (45 mins long...nap consolidation where you at???) and need to transition her to the crib soon. She's getting too long for her bassinet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-plan-re-rnp-to-crib-transition#post-1706044 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 19:31:26 +0000 mrsbookworm 1706044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say keep up what you started. Hopefully, it will go better than you think! You've already completed day 1 :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-plan-re-rnp-to-crib-transition#post-1706035 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 19:27:07 +0000 ladybee 1706035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I don't have any advice except do it sooner rather than later. We did it right at 3 months (no RnP - bedtime in crib, naps in swing or my arms) and it took 4 days of hell but was over quick. A friend did it at 6 months and it took weeks. Best of luck! I stressed over it so badly and made it much worse than it needed to be in my head, like 90% of things :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-plan-re-rnp-to-crib-transition#post-1706031 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 19:25:45 +0000 Weagle 1706031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go with what's working until it doesn't anymore. Maybe stick with the RnP for a while. And as far as transitions go, in our house, the "bandaid method." Works best for us. Going all in is much smoother overall than dragging it out into phases. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-plan-re-rnp-to-crib-transition#post-1706011 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 19:18:32 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1706011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 3 months old. He just got over 2 colds so I'm trying to transition to his crib now that he finally is feeling better. Right now he sleeps in the RnP in our room for naps and bedtime. His naps are crap. 30 mins exactly almost all the time.<br /> My plan is to get him used to napping in his crib then get him into his crib for night time sleep. I wanted to do this before the 4 month sleep regression.... Will this help?? Or should I just leave him in the RnP since it's working and switch him to the crib after 4 months? He did all his naps in the crib today (5 of them....) and they were all 30 mins. So no worse then normal. But he fussed a lot before falling asleep. In the RnP he goes to sleep quite quickly. </p> <p>Thoughts?? </p>
