When did you move your baby to the crib?

My fiance and I moved our daughter into her crib when she was 2 months old. When I talk to other moms, some of them feel like that was too early, but for us it worked out perfectly. We slept well, and she slept well...mostly. lol. Of course she got up during the night, but now that she's 10 months she sleeps in her crib every night and we don't have any issues. It's all up to you and what you think will work for you as a mother/family. Just keep the baby monitor on high and you'll be ok! ;-)

To make you feel a little different, couldn't you just move the bassinet in to her own room so she can be used to being in there before you put her in the cot? My daughter didn't go in to her own room until she was 6 months but only because we were waiting for the cot to arrive (my in laws were buying it & they were working all the time) so she had to stay in her bassinet longer than we'd have liked - we had to keep an eye on her in the bassinet coz she could roll - LOL - she was a little big but we managed. I'd try the bassinet in her own room first as the first change & then a couple weeks later do the next change & put her in the cot! Good luck & i hope it all goes smoothly for you!

i didn't had a bassinet! right into the cribs from day one! so in this way i could sleep better! and both of my daughters are good sleepers now. i am not saying because of the sleeping in their rooms right away but i guess it helped! and ofcourse it's your choise!

I put both my babies in their crib (cot) from the first day they came home from the hospital. However, I kept them in my bedroom for the first year, with the cot pulled up close to the side of my bed. I do not say this is what every parent should do as we all have different views. Like I never would have them sleeping in my bed like alot of parents do. So really it is down to you and what you feel is best for your daughter.

My baby never slept long on the crib however he found it ok for day time naps. He sleeps early in the night so till I go to bed he sleeps on the crib . If I leave him on the crib for the whole night he will get up in the midnight.

When I brought my baby home from the hospital she slept in her bassinet and then when she was about 6 mos. we moved her to the crib and she has been there ever since.

My son was around 4 months old when we moved him into the crib. He wanted to go to the crib, because he was running out of room in the bassinet. He rolled over from an early age, so when he got bigger, he didn't have room to roll anymore. We went home (1000 miles away) for a while when he was about 4 months old. My mom had bought him a crib for her house. He slept in it while we were there, and wanted no part of his bassinet when we got back to our house. He loved that freedom that he had in the crib!

we used the crib right off from the beginning. i had the bassinet in the living room for when he was sleeping during the daytime. now he's not in his own room but my two older children never shared my room with me, i just couldn't sleep with an infant in my room, i woke with every stir so for my own sanity they slept in their room from birth. now that i'm older i sleep better or sounder whatever the reason i have no problem sharing with this baby and we don't have a room ready for him yet.

I think that is totally what you are comfortable with as long as it is before she starts sitting up, of course... lol..

We moved our son from his bassinet to his crib at around 3 months of age, though his crib was in our bedroom for another couple of months after moving him from his bassinet.

Move her to the crib ASAP. I allowed my baby to sleep with us and now she is 11 months old and I cant get her out of our bed.. its annoying. Dont make the same mistake that I did.
