Transitioning from Co-sleeping to Crib - Clovis,CA

Nope, she won't be able to soothe herself back to sleep at 2 months of age and you don't want to expect her to. It will set you up for lots of frustration. Self-soothing comes much later-around 6 months.

I can not recommend enough for you to learn as much as you can about infant sleep. This will help you teach your daughter to sleep and she has to be taught. Babies do not automatically know how.

I highly recommend:

Dr. Sears Baby Sleep book
The Baby Whisperer
The No-Cry Sleep Solution (she discusses co-sleeping and solutions that go with some co-sleeping issues)
Google 4th trimester

The above all have amazing tips, info and tricks that will be invaluable as you make this transition for baby and you. I was able to glean so much info that I'd never heard before and develop a sleep plan for my oldest.

You should probably keep trying to put her in there for her naps, and maybe get one of those white noise machines that has a heartbeat sound. Also, spend time with her in her bedroom so she gets used to being in there and feels comfortable in that room.

Just put her in the crib and see.

Or, put her in a "sleep sack." If you look on Amazon, you will see many there and the reviews of it.

But still, you will need to nurse on-demand. She is only an infant... and their sleep and feeding needs always changes... per growth-spurts and development.

We never co-slept with our son, but had him in a cradle about 4 feet from the bed. When it was time to move him to the crib in his own room, we just put him there. He wakes up constantly no matter where he is so there was no real disturbance, and he didn't mind.

Cribs are really big for such a small baby though, and she might feel a little "lost" and unsnuggled in the crib. Try placing her in the corner so when she looks around she gets the impression that she's more closed in than she really is.

Good luck!
