Transitioning from bassinet to crib: any tips?

Hi all,

 

We're going to soon move Lydia from her bassinet in our room to her very own crib in her own room. Any advice how to make the transition go as smoothly as possible? Should I start her daily nap in there first so the place isn't completely strange to her? Would love any advice and tips on what made it go well for any of you...thanks! :)

I would def start at least one nap a day in her crib, we did that with LO and now she takes one nap a day in her crib (the rest in her swing) and sleeps amazing in her own room at night! Good luck!

This is going to sound weird but last night was the first time the twins slept in their own cribs.  It actually went really well.  Neither had a melt down.  I think it helped that feeding time before bed consisted of very warm formula and a glider rocker.  The entire night, anytime they were fed in that chair, they would pass out and were able to be put down in their cribs with no problem.

We did that with DD1 and plan to do it with DD2.  After the first 3 weeks, I started having her nap in her crib instead of in the pack n play by me in the family room.  That way when we did move her from the bassinet at night to her crib, she was exposed to it a bit.  Good luck!
