My baby is almost 5 months old and has been sleeping in her cradle swing ONLY since she was born. Doc said it's okay, but we want to get her sleeping in her crib. We've been transitioning her gradually, by not turning the swing on and having her sleep in it off. But, tonight will be our first day at REALLY attempting to put her to bed in the crib. I am SO nervous! She is a good sleeper and is now sleeping to between 4 am and 7 am without waking (if she wakes before 6am, she'll nurse and go right back to sleep). She was waking once to nurse always, but 2 days ago she started sleeping through till 6 or 7 without it. I am SO afraid that this will disrupt her and completely change her sleeping patterns and put her out of wack, leading to my sleeplessness! I have medical issues that cause me insomnia and so my sleep is more important than most. I am very anxious and just need some reassurance that this will work, even if not right away? Someone out there please help!?
