How We Transitioned from Room to Nursery

Step 1: Follow @takingcarababies on Instagram or check out her blog.
Cara is amazing! She is a sleep expert and a former nurse. Her tips have helped tremendously.

Step 2: From Birth-4 months we kept our son in our room in a bassinet next to my side of the bed. 
This was easy for me to grab him whenever I had to breastfeed.

Step 3: Around 4 months, we got rid of the bassinet and switched to the pack n play portion.

This is what we used.
Step 4: Around this same time, we moved our son further from away from me but still on the same side as me.

Step 5: Around 5 months, we moved the pack n play to the opposite side of the room, the farthest away from me.

Step 6: Around 5 months, we also moved the glider to the nursery. Most of the feedings and bedtime routine now took place in the nursery rather than our room.

Step 7: Around 6 months, we tried to do as many naps as possible in the crib in the nursery instead of our room. Make sure it's dark!

Step 8: Around 8 months, we transitioned to the nursery and sleeping in the crib no problem!
