Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

We had the crib set up when she came home and she slept in it for a week then would only sleep in her bouncie seat. She started sleeping again in it 100% by about 2.5-3 months.

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

so it sok not to register for an alternative bedding for her??

A crib in the beginning is up to you. Sara slept in the bassinet for two weeks then the crib

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

Next baby for me is going straight into his/her crib-

Ryan hated his bassinett, and to be honest- when I finally moved him into his room and crib it was so much harder on me than him

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

my 2 kids went right into a crib. Kept crib in my room for a couple months. worked out great for us

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

I have to aggree that I want to try the crib earlier with the next baby. There was just such a difference in how well she slept through the night once she was in it.

ETA: We didn't have a moses basket or bassinet or anything --- she slept in the bouncer on vibrate for the first 2.5 months.

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

For me there was no way I could have my baby in another room from day 1, that just was not happening. We had a cradle and a snuggle nest for the bed. Some of the times she just slept in bed with me. I didn't move her to her crib until 6 months and that was only because no one was sleeping well. If we were sleeping well I would have kept on co-sleeping.

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

A baby can sleep in the crib from day 1. There is nothing wrong with that. We got a hand-me-down bassinet we used in our room for the first 3 months and then we put him in his crib with no problems.

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

I borrowed a friend's bassinet and used it for exactly 2 mos thereafter DD slept exclusively in her crib. We had no transition problems at all. Actually she techically slept in her bassinet on and off for 2 mos and the other times in our bed but none of us were getting good sleep so as soon as the 2 mos mark came we put her in the crib.

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

at 4 months we still have our DS in the cradle next to our bed. ..we just feel alot better until at least 6 months when the risk of SIDS decreases..

but whatever works for you is best..

edited to say- he has been sleeping trough the night (9-10 hours) since last month..

My girls slept in the crib from day 1. There is no reason not to put them in the crib right away.

Roman slept in a co-sleeper attached to the bed for about two weeks then he went straight to his crib.

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

We had her in a bassinet for the first few weeks until she refused to sleep in it.

We bought the co sleeper when she was about 2 months old. I wish I had gotten it sooner.
if I have another they will go right in the co sleeper.

Jared went straight to the crib.

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

Talia slept in her crib since day #1

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

Christopher started when he was a month old, but every baby is different. I would say it's better to have it, just in case.

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

Jacob went in at around 2.5 months...

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

Ryan was in his crib from day 1 and it was the best decision I ever made. He never had a problem sleeping in it and only goes in it at night. He knows once I put him in there that its bed time.

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

My 1st was in the bassinet in our room for about a month, then straight to the crib.
My 2nd was in the bassinet in our room for about a week before he went to the crib.

My mom had my sister (her 2nd) in the crib, the 1st night, in the other room.

Believe me, you can HEAR a baby crying-lol!!

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

My 2 slept in their crib in their room from the first night they came home.

Re: when do they sleep in their crib?

i put both in the crib at 6 weeks. a bassinet is a GREAT thing to borrow, because most people only use it for a month or two and then it just sits in the basement. FOr the first week or two, it's hard toh ave them in another room, because for me, anyway, I was paranoid and needed to hear her breathe!
