When did you move your baby from the bassinet to the crib?

We never had a bassinet and he went to the crib at first...

At one month I moved her bassinet into her room ( she's a noisy sleeper and I would wake up every little peep she made). After she slept in it in her room for a few days, we moved her to her crib for nap times. We did that until she was 6 weeks. At 6 weeks we moved her totally to the crib.

It's harder on you than her....like I said, I HAD to because I was not sleeping well. She never had a problem with it.

Good luck! If you don't feel ready yet, just leave her in the bassinet until you do feel ready. No harm there. It's a personal choice

I put my son in his crib at like 2mths and he just did it himself. I was brushing my teeth and my husband couldn't hold the baby any longer so he put him in his crib for somewhere safe, I came out and asked where our son was and he told me in the crib, I FREAKED because he wasn't making any sound so I ran to the nursery and my son was sound asleep, he has been in his crib ever since. My son never took to a bassinet though.

I still check up on my son every night before I go to bed. I now put my son to bed at 8:30pm and I usually go to bed at 11:00pm so that way hubby and I have time to cuddle and watch a movie or something... I always check up on him.

Its going to be a change, if you want to get him used to his crib move the crib to your bedroom.

Its just something that we have to do, it gets easier. Just make sure you have a good baby monitor and then you can hear him breathing. :)

Good luck!

I was the same way. Our daughter out grew her bassinet when she was about 3 1/2 months old. She now sleeps in her own bed. Just use baby monitors and leave the bedroom doors open. and if you happen to wake up in the middle of the night just go in and check on him. You'll soon realize that he is fine.

When he got too big, we moved my son to the crib. And yes yes yes -- of course it's natural to be anxious! That's just what the Mother instinct does to us so we can be good moms. If you're afraid to go to sleep with him in the crib, then move the crib close to your bed until you're more comfortable.

Our son will be 4 months soon and we just moved him into his crib this past weekend. He's been doing great! I was nervous the first night and a little sad but it worked out fine.

Just do your nightly routine as you would but put him in his crib. It's perfectly normal to be nervous about it but don't let that stop you from doing this if you think he's ready.

I put my son into his own crib at 1-1/2 weeks old...he started sleeping through the night at 2-1/2 weeks...10 hours at a time.

Why don't you try putting him in the pack n play? If you're nervous about putting him in his own room, you can try the pack n play in your room and then move it next to his crib or in the hallway. That's what we did when my son outgrew his bassinet. Good luck!

keep him in your room until he starts sleeping through the night. thats the best rule of thumb. as far as the bassinet goes, I never used one and won't be with my next child. I'm keeping the baby and crib in my room til 6mths old or so.

I think the anxiety goes away. When I moved my baby to her own room I was nervous the first couple nights. I also felt bad because I thought my baby might "miss" me. I got over it pretty quickly -- turns out we both slept better in separate rooms. When she slept in our room we used to have to tip-toe around and talk in extremely hushed voices (and we still managed to accidently wake her up!). Now she sleeps really good and so do we. Her little nighttime murmurings and movements always kept me awake. Now I keep the monitor on (but on VERY low volume) and i sleep great.
