4 Ways to Transition Your Baby from Co-sleeping to Sleeping in a Crib
3. Make the crib and the nursery as comfortable as possible
You can never substitute the warmth and closeness of sleeping with you, but you can make the crib and the nursery as comfortable as possible. Make sure that the mattress in the crib is not too soft or too lumpy and also make sure that you do not over stuff the crib with things that can cause discomfort to the baby. Also keep the room temperature at an optimum level so that the baby does not get too hot or too cold.
4. Be very patient
Each baby is unique in its own way and some babies might find it easier to transition than other babies. While some babies might adjust quickly and sleep as good as before, some babies might be fretful and give you many a sleepless nights. It is important that you be patient and do what it takes to make the transition to the crib as smooth as possible.
It is important that both you and your baby feel comfortable with the transition. Be prepared to feel some sense of loss and anxiety disorder as you leave your kid in the crib or in the nursery.
