How did you transition to the crib?

[Leapinglizards]

Hi ladies! We started transitioning LO to the crib around 5 months and she did great. She would go to sleep and wouldn't cry unless she was hungry. We got back from being gone 2 weeks for Christmas and she got sick. We put her in the swing or the RnP to sleep. Now she is better she refuses to go back to the crib. She sometimes will fall asleep but 30mins in she is screaming and no amount of consoling helps. We put a crib wedge in and nothing. Any ideas to get my great crib sleeper back?

DD was a RnP addict. I took a positioner and put it under the crib sheet, the kind you would use in the stroller or carseat. The one we had was by summer infant and it worked perfectly. DD liked having something to rub her cheek on and the head support under the sheet came up enough for her to put her cheek on, it also helped makes the crib not so open. Even though this worked great, it was one more thing to transition from which we did cold turkey 2 nights ago and so far so good. I've read about other people rolling up towels and making a U shape under the sheet.

That's a great idea. Thanks!
