How to Series Part 9

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!
