That's what we do with our LO. She slept in the newborn napper and then got too big for it. We rolled up a towel or a blanket under a crib sheet and then put her in the middle of the U.

Is there a reason you want to do it now? Our transition to crib from RnP wasn't too painful, but we did it later-- well, we went back and forth, actually-- she was in the crib fine, then started having gas and reflux issues so back into the RnP, then back to the crib... At 6 weeks though, I don't think there is a rush to put him into the crib?

We had a bigger issue with leaving her arms out-- the first night she woke herself up every hour. After that, she started moving herself all over the crib, rotating like the hand on a clock, so the towel idea would have annoyed her I think.

We had DS in the RnP until he was 5.5 mos because of reflux and he slept better in it. When we did transition we used the Merlin magic sleep suit and it helped a ton! I think you have to wait until 3 mos to use those though...

We didn't transfer until 6 or 7 months, lol. It was a little touch and go the first few nights but he absolutely loves his bed now! We layed him on his side and rolled up a blanket behind him to make him feel "snuggled". I know any safety expert would be horrified to hear that but we did what we thought was right for our child. I wouldn't recommend that for a young baby who can't roll or lift up their own head well.

You could roll up a towel and place it under the crib sheet so LO won't suffocate from the blanket.

@ladybee: I have the towel under the crib sheet and it only goes up to her underarms. She sleeps swaddled and doesn't roll over yet.

So the towel goes around their feet not head? Going to try this after we get back from Thanksgiving!

@daniellemybelle: yes. Like this, but under a sheet. LO spit up and we had to wash it.

@ladybee: Not yet but I plan on trying tomorrow. Any luck with your LO?
@Jennimac: Thank you for posting the pic so I can see the setup. Cute outfit btw!
