@cozybabysleep: When you realize your baby never hated the crib—they just needed the right kind of transfer. This side-settle-then-roll method can be a game-changer for easing the shock of being laid down. You’re not alone if your baby startles the second they touch the mattress! Other transfer tips I swear by: • Feet first • Keep baby close to your chest as you lower • Warm the crib beforehand (a heat pack works wonders—just remove it before laying them down) • Sleep with the crib sheet before use • And the BIG one: timing is everything Still dealing with frequent night wakes, even with a solid transfer? I’ve got a FREEEEE guide that walks you through what else might be going on. Free guide link is in my bio!!!
