We've been slowly trying to transition DD into her crib for the past month. She slept swaddled in her RNP for the first 3 months. She's weaned off her swaddle, but putting her in the crib has been such a sloooooow transition. We put her in there for her first stretch (usually 3 hours in the RNP) but she wakes herself up within an hour EVERY TIME by rolling. She gets herself stuck in a weird half back/half belly position against the side. She's been working on rolling over for a few weeks (goes both ways but not consistently), will she stop moving as much once she's mastered it?

Learning to roll was terrible for us as far as sleep bc he'd practice in his crib like you mention. But then once he did learn, he'd roll over in his sleep and scream cause he was on his belly. All night long. It was only a few days though before he learned to sleep on his side. Once we got through the worst of it, he was actually a better sleeper cause he can put himself on his side which he seems to love.

Ugh, my DD loves to practice new skills in the crib. As soon as she learned to roll (6 months), she would stay up HOURS past her bedtime. We had about one week of respite when she mastered it and it wasn't so fun anymore, and then she started pushing up to hands and knees, and it hasn't let up since. Now she has learned to sit up all on her own...we honestly just have to let her play and entertain herself until she's tired enough to pass out. She's getting better about it but bedtimes have been intermittently terrible for a couple months now.

Um, when you find out, let me know! We put her on her side, and she often stays there. Not always, though. And there are still nights when she uses the RnP all night. I keep telling myself that even though she is not a newborn, she is still little and learning. We will get there!

@gilmoregirl: @LovelyPlum: DD loves to be on her side, too! Sometimes she'll roll on her side and stay like that for a while, but eventually flips. Ugh. LOL.
