4 Signs It’s Time for Your Baby to Move to a Crib

By



It’s amazing how quickly a newborn grows into a baby and learns all the things babies do in their sleep. Now, you wonder if it’s time to move your baby out of the bassinet and into a crib. It depends on your baby, their milestones, and what you see on the baby monitor.

The Weight and Length Limit

Bassinets have a weight and length limit, so if your baby is a large newborn and they’re growing quickly, you’ll move them out of the bassinet sooner than later. If you have a smaller baby, you might be able to keep them in the bassinet until they reach the age limit, which is about six months old.

The Swaddle Dilemma

Your baby may decide they don’t want to sleep in a swaddle of any kind and prefer a wearable blanket or sleep sack (almost like a swaddle with more leg space) or simply warmer pajamas. This sign isn’t as recognizable as others because your baby needs an opportunity to sleep without a swaddle to figure it out. Try it out during naptime to see how well they sleep without a swaddle. You may have the baby who breaks out of their swaddle on their own, so that’s definitely a sign it’s time to make the switch.

The Changing Sleep Habits

After buying a smart baby cam online, you came to rely on it for clear visuals of your little one’s sleep space. Using the camera on the monitor, you can keep track of changing sleep habits. Letting your baby nap without a swaddle that locks into the bassinet is especially helpful. Your baby might learn how to roll or move around more in their bassinet, indicating it’s time to move to a bigger sleep space, like a crib.

The Nighttime Wakeups

If your baby wakes up more during the night when they’re not hungry and doesn’t need a diaper change, then they’re uncomfortable for another reason. If your baby is no longer comfortable in their bassinet, you should try a crib. It may be that your little one needs more space to feel ready for proper rest. You should use monitors for infant sleep tracking to determine if the change made a difference.

Infant sleep habits are always changing, and monitoring them with a baby monitor helps you adjust to the changes and encourages a more restful sleep space.

How to Encourage Your Baby to Self-Soothe

When you hear “self-soothe,” what comes to mind? When a baby or toddler learns to self-soothe, it simply means they can fall back asleep by themselves. You can still comfort and tend to your baby while encouraging self-soothing skills. Before you can help your little one reach different levels of this developmental milestone, find out what you can do as a parent or caregiver. Smart Baby Monitor Reduce Stimulation Sound, light, and movement affect newborns, young babies, and toddlers. To encourage self-soothing habits, reduce stimulation around your baby during nighttime wakeups. You can invest in a baby monitor that has a dim nightlight. That way, even if you have to change a diaper or do a nighttime feeding, you don’t have to turn on a bright light that wakes them up. If all your baby’s needs are met, speak to the baby slowly and gently and keep your expression calm. If you need to hold them, pick them up slowly, hold them firmly, and try to help them settle down with...

New Parent Notice: Nightlights Are a Must

Stumbling around in the middle of the night is already a hazard, but when you’re a sleep-deprived new parent, it’s even more important to use a nightlight. You need to be able to care for your baby in the middle of the night and early mornings, which means bottles, breastfeeding, diaper changes, or anything else that comes up after the sun goes down.  However, you want to keep things dim to avoid interfering with your little one’s sleep. During the first few weeks of their life, they adjust to night and day and develop a circadian rhythm. As a parent, you can help them adapt and stay comfortable during wakeups with a dim nightlight attached to a smart baby monitor . The Perfect Dim Light You need just enough light for a quick diaper change and an unimpaired feeding session, so turning on the room light is probably too much. High-quality, smart monitors for infant sleep tracking have features to help you feel more assured in your role. You don’t have to purchase sepa...
