Moses basket in our room to cot in own room.....any tips for a smooth ride?

[Jam77]

DD is currently in with us and has started to sleep through and so am planning in acouple of weeks (will find it sooooooo hard] to put DD in her own room as I know I disturb her in the night any tips to make it go well? At the moment she goes to bed well most nights.

You could try putting her moses basket in the cot for a little while during the transition.

mine went into a cot at 5wks and his own room at 6 months. He never noticed the difference. He was only sleeping through by 6 months. We never disturbed his sleep, (he was used to sleeping anywhere) only hunger did that. He also was in a travel cot during that time too, it was all the same to him.

I'm glad you said that - I wondered aboutdoing it myself

i also put the moses basket into ds's cot first night

he slept fine so the next night he went into the cot

remember thinking how tiny he looked in there!

good luck

we did the carry cot in big cot for a night, then into big cot.
We use sleeping bags so dd probably didn't notice much difference between one cot and another

Thanks Guys - I have been putting DD in there for some daytime naps and she resists some days and not others just not sure how going in there at night on her won will go down

ooh another idea is to do as much of the bedtime routine in her room as possible - so she gets used to spending time in there

[Jam77]

She always has her bedtime bottle in there and had every night feed in there too. Sometimes I think it's just her resisting a nap

Off now but please add tips and advice as will be back on tomorrow thanks!!!
