I will make note and see if it works for him. If not I will remove it. Thx! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-baby-to-new-room-and-crib#post-2789238 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 20:48:05 +0000 Ina85 2789238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with the pp. Just letting you know, depending on your baby about the night light. My baby is easily overstimulated, easily stimulated so she needs a pitch black room. I noticed since she was very young when I used to have a night light in her room, when she would wake for feedings she'd stare at the light and be all awake and stimulated, I got rid of that light and learned to keep things dark for her. Since then she's slept with blackout curtains, no lights and sound machine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-baby-to-new-room-and-crib#post-2789229 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 20:01:16 +0000 agold 2789229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 6 months is a fine time to move the baby into his own room. If it were me, I’d put him in his new room and crib from the get go at the new house. I’d give him a night light and a sound machine. Although, I would probably still nurse to sleep. Try dropping that at a later date after he is settled in following the move. Just my thoughts. Good luck with whatever you choose to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-baby-to-new-room-and-crib#post-2789159 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 14:38:52 +0000 cake2017 2789159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone,<br /> We are moving this week. LO is almost 6 months old. He has slept in his crib before but has lately been in our bed since he has been out of the swaddle. His crib has always been next to me in our room. Well we will be moving him to his own room and crib. Any suggestions on how we should do this? I don’t want to do cold turkey... I nurse to sleep so I am hoping to cut that too. So much but I think we can address everything. Hoping to take steps but would like to know what you think is the best way....?!<br /> 1. Should we start the first day in the new home? 2. Should I break it up and do naps and night sleep separately?<br /> 3. Should I continue to nurse or just move that early in his bedtime routine and put him down in his crib awake “but drowsy”?<br /> 4. Should we have a night light in his new room? or pitch black? He has a sound machine.<br /> 5. Any suggestions that would be helpful for me? I’m dreading this :( </p> <p>Thank you again for your input! I really do appreciate it! </p>
