At Adelaide's 2 month check Dr. Oie reminded us that she typically recommends having babies sleeping where you want them to sleep by around 2 months.They are more aware and that tends to be the easiest time to make the transition. Although I loved being able to peek at Addy throughout the night and it was way easier to retrieve her pacifier to help her fall back asleep between feedings (which meant Mama got more sleep, too), we also did not want to prolong her time there and create a nightmare for ourselves down the road. So a few days later we bit the bullet. I started with one of her naps and throughout the day we moved all of the gear (monitor, heater, sound machine, fan) into her room, too. Addy was a champ and made the change go so smoothly. There was a tiny hiccup when we realized the "room darkening" curtains were not at all and the new space was super distracting to our aware little girl, but we simply added some beach towels to her decor and that problem was temporarily solved. Now we need to work on sleeping through the night...
