How do I transition my baby from a bassinet to a crib?

Transitioning your baby from a bassinet to a crib can be smooth. Start by placing the crib in your room to help them adjust.

When is the best time to make the transition?

The best time is usually around 4-6 months when your baby starts to outgrow the bassinet. Look for signs of readiness.

What if my baby resists the crib?

If your baby resists, try making the crib a cozy space with familiar blankets or toys. Gradually introduce them to it.

Should I do it all at once or gradually?

A gradual approach is often best. Start with naps in the crib before moving to overnight sleep.

Any tips for making the crib more comfortable?

You can use a firm mattress, add a fitted sheet, and keep the room at a comfortable temperature to enhance comfort.
