I get super anxious around transitions and try to get the baby in the crib as early as possible. DS1 was weird a did crib at night beginning at 3 weeks but would only nap in the swing until well past proper swing time. DS2 slept in the swing til 8 weeks then crib. Im going to see how early I can get this one into the crib but my trusty swing will be waiting in the wings I'm sure. I'll buy an RnP only if the baby won't sleep no matter what or reflux issues. I'm getting hives just thinking about an RnP to crib transition if the baby STTN in the RnP. I don't know what I'd do. I prioritize sleep over everything.

Hi life twin. DD went to the crib at 4 weeks with no problem, at night. She was STTN by 3 months. She lived in her swing during the day for naps though, but whatever worked. DD was so easy with sleep that I fully expect 2.0 to keep me exhausted until he turns 18.

We have an Eddie Bauer "rocking" bassinet that my mother picked up at a garage sale before DD was born. The first week of her life she somehow rolled or it rocked or something but she was wedged in a corner when I found her so I quickly zip tied the legs so it is no longer rocks. DD didn't hate it exactly but she didn't love it either. The mattress is barely a piece of 1/2 inch foam BUT I found a place that has a baby mattress that would fit the odd dimensions so we're gonna try this again. I really prefer she sleep on a flat surface but DD did sleep in a RNP for a bit even though it made me nervous.

Just seeing this now, but for DS we borrowed an Eddie Bauer bassinet that rocks. It came to us unassembled and without instructions. When I looked online I found a recall on it because there was a spring missing that prevented either unwanted rocking or tilting, I don't quite remember. I filled out an online request for the spring and had it within days. I know you quick-fixed yours, but just thought I'd mention it anyway!

I hope it works this way. This baby will be sleeping through the night by 2 months if it does!

Thanks - I saw a recall for one of them but it was a dark wood one (ours is the "natural" wood one). It seems my complaints about the rocking are common on Amazon which is where I saw a suggestion for zip ties. Ours came preassembled thank goodness because reviews also say it is a pain to assemble!
