Any advice on transitioning a 3 1/2 month old to her crib? How to get her to fall asleep on her own? 😴

Good luck with that. It’s all up to the baby in my experience. NONE of my kids ever liked the crib. Smfh...so they ended up co-sleeping with me, or in their playpen...for sure. Personally a crib is a waste of space and $ for me, but best of luck! Anything to make em sleep and stop crying right? Lol the only thing that worked was them sleeping beside me. They just want mommy. 🤷🏽‍♀️ That’s motherhood for yuh!

We used a white noise machine for my dd.

Did you try Momma scent ? I slept with my daughters blanket and i would just trade her every once and a while, honestly the baby scent was comforting to me too. So when i laid her on it the smell would make her think she was cuddling me. Some people will put there shirt in the crib with the baby but i didnt.

Also she had a mobile that played lullabies but she didnt sleep in bed with me that much when she was little. Its just how i got her to sleep

I have a 3.5 month old and we just switched her into the crib too. She was in a rock n play since 2 weeks old so I was very nervous she’d be awful about being flat in the crib. I do our normal nighttime routine, rock her to sleep and wait a good half hour so she’s in a deep sleep then put her in the crib and walk right away. Sometimes she’ll wake up for a minute and she’ll whine but as long as she’s not actually crying I don’t go back. She’ll fall right back asleep and sleeps through the night. First night was pretty tough and she screamed every time we put her down, but second night she was an angel and since then it’s been good. But I don’t expect mine to fall asleep on her own for awhile, I like rocking her to sleep

@rachokai yes, we still have to rock her to sleep! But I enjoy it too :) she sleeps in a pack n play in my bedroom right now and does good with it....I tried the crib today for a nap, but didn't work. I rocked her 4 times and tried laying her down, but she woke every time.

@alexandriadoebler that's a good idea. Is it safe to put blanket in crib though?

@alexandriadoebler maybe I can sleep with her sleep sack and switch those on and off?

@mommiesaremagical14 yes, I use a sound machine every night..but definitely doesn't work to put her to sleep on her own. :/
