Why didn't anyone tell me it would be this hard?!!!
Piper is over 3 months old and STILL in her Rock N Play at night. I honestly wish she could just stay in it forever because she slept 12 hours last night. TWELVE HOURS...with a short break around 6am. It is amazing.
However, it doesn't hold her very well anymore, so a change must occur. I've tried putting her down for naps in the crib initially, but most naps average about 10-30 minutes at this point. So, we are also starting to put her down at night. The first night, she slept for 40 minutes and last night she slept for 45. At this rate, she'll be sleeping through the night in her crib by the time she's 4, but we have to keep trying. I can't say I really blame her either. The thing is like a barron jail cell, with a single sheet and bars, but we'll see!
Oh, and we've also placed a pillow under one side of the mattress to semi-mimic the slope of the Rock N Play.
EDITED TO ADD - At 16 weeks, we placed a travel bassinet inside of her crib to help her not feel so vulnerable and it kinda worked! She slept from 8:50pm - 3:30am! Go Pip!
