Moving baby to crib
I'm thinking about moving my little man to his crib in his own room but I'm really nervous about him being in another room. I think it will help him sleep better though because he wakes up to every movement we make. I only have a sound monitor not a camera one so the fact that I can't see him scares me. He will be two months on Tuesday. Has anyone moved their babies to their own room / crib yet ? How did it go?

I moved my little guy at 7 weeks. The first night the battery on the monitor died so I woke up to him crying from allllll the way across the house. But he wasn't sweating or super worked up, so it was obvious I woke up as soon as he started really crying. We've all slept so much better since the move. The first few nights were hard on me bc I was glued to the monitor, but the anxiety passed pretty fast. We were going through the same thing. He would wake up every time one of us rolled over and rustled the sheets. He would wake us up when he pooped. He's been in there 4 weeks now. He started sleeping through the night as soon as we moved him (with the exception of week 8, pretty sure that was just a leap though). Just make sure the monitor is fully charged! ;-)

I moved my little girl to her crib a week ago. The first night I slept on the nursery floor lol but the second night on I slept in my room & we've all been sleeping better.

Yeah my guy has also been in his crib for 4 weeks. We put him in at 9 weeks. He sleeps a lot better too. He loves having the extra room to move around.

My little man has been in his own room in a regular crib since day one. During the day he sleeps in the swing or on the floor, but somewhere noisy and light (I have a 3 1/2 year old and a 12 year old too). At night he sleeps in his crib on his side with a rolled up blanket behind him. I've always had a problem with lying babies who cannot roll over on their backs.. If they puke they will choke because it'll go down their airway. There's a reason the first aid recovery position (for that exact reason) is to place people on their sides. That said, little man has never had a problem sleeping on his own. The first few nights I kept checking on him but that's normal and your nerves will ease :) good luck!!

We moved Audrey about 3 weeks ago (she's three months today) and it's been great. She sleeps way longer and we invested in a fancy monitor with a camera which has been wonderful. Last night she slept from 8:00 to 6:30 when I woke her up to feed because I was ready ?. It's been a good change for us.. She sleeps longer without hearing us snoring and tossing haha. I think she's more comfortable.

I will say, I always thought the video monitors were just a luxury, but last night it was really nice to be able to see him. I'm not sure what I was dreaming, but I woke up suddenly and thought I heard baby cries. Laid still for a second and it was just silence. So I started drifting and then again I could have sworn I heard cries, but coming from our living room and not the babies room. So I hit the button to turn the screen on and he was just soundly sleeping in his crib.... I felt crazy, but it was nice to have that reassurance. Instead of grabbing the gun and racing through the house thinking someone was taking my baby :-X

We have partially transitioned over. At 8 weeks we decided to try it since she sleeps well and our 3 year old was a nightmare up move to his and it didn't happen until almost a year. She seems to sleep the same or better in her own room! Though I still have the bassinet by my bed so a couple nights I still put her close to me. I wasn't sure how she would react to her 2 month needles so I kept her in my room (she was fine) and if I'm dead tired I put her in the bassinet for my own laziness lol
I am nervous about having her swaddled in her crib in case she randomly flips over, but she still startles so our first attempt with a sleep sack was awful. We did it again last night though at 9 weeks and she slept the night in it no problem!
