There are many bonuses to having your baby sleeping in a bassinet next to you. It’s more convenient for nighttime feeding and changing since newborns are prone to waking up more frequently. 

However, once your baby starts to show signs of rolling, it may be time to transition them to their crib to ensure they’re sleeping safely. If that’s the case, keep reading to learn the signs that your baby is ready to be done with the bassinet and tips for transitioning from bassinet to crib.

1. Understand the transition timeline; age considerations and developmental milestones
2. Prepare for the transition; choose a crib and set up the nursey with comforting items
3. Create a transition routine; think about daytime naps, bedtime routine adjustments and using a sleepsack swaddle or wearable blanket

Expect a few bumps along the way when you transition your baby to a crib. It’s perfectly normal for their sleep to be slightly off during this time. The key here is to keep up with your usual bedtime routine and maybe squeeze in extra snuggles if things get tough. Remember, consistency is your best friend during this phase, and a little patience goes a long way.

Lastly, think about crib safety! Here are some tips: 

1. Choose a crib mattress that fits snuggly in the crib
2. Keep the crib free from pillows, crib bumpers, toys, blankets, etc

3. Bathtime!
