I never knew how hard.....

transfering from bassinette (pack and play, not really bassinette) to crib would be. I just tried putting Trevor down for a nap in his crib and he freaked. He screamed for 1 hour. Finally i tried feeding him (figured he'd be hungry again from all that crying) and i wussed out and held him till he was asleep and then put him in his crib. Hopefully he stays asleep for his usual time. We are gonna try it tonight too.

I can completely relate!

At over 5 months old Christian still doesn't sleep in his crib! He can be completely out , put him down and POOF, he is wide awake and ready to play.
One day I hope to move him from the pack-n-play to the crib, but right now its just an expensive blanket holder!

SO what is the wieght limit to sleep in the pack and play? i am thinking of putting him in his crib for naps during the day so he can get used to that and then once thats good try the nighttime thing. He has been asleep in his crib now for about 30 minutes, he usually naps 4 hours, so we'll see.

normally the bassent part of the pack in play has a weight limit of 15 lbs or they roll over on their own. I would suggest finding your instruction manual for it and seeing what it says.

Maybe you should try rolling up some towels or a big blanket and putting them in the crib around the edge to make the crib feel snugger or smaller.

Add: You could also move the crib into your room for a bit, maybe he misses you too. Then he can get used to being in the crib in your room, later move the crib into his room and he can adjust to you not being in the same room.

We also have one. My son goes in there occasionally during the day and to drink his evening milk before bed while we put his sisters to bed. He doesn't sleep in there (now) unless we bring it when we go on vacation somewhere. I also put him in there if I find that he is getting into mischief. He is 21 months and about 25 pounds.

But when he was a baby he slept in the playpen until about 5 months in the bassinette part. Once he rolled over I took out the basinette part of it. After 5 months he slept in the crib. His sister was still in it when he was born and was too young to move into a bed. At 2 years and 1 month she moved into a toddler bed. My husband made it.

I hear you. But in my case from day one my son never liked the idea of sleeping in either beds. He prefered our bed or the floor (laying on a blanket). If we even transfered him to the crib or bassenet he would wake up. Still to this day he will not sleep in the crib (1 y/o). We don't at all mind him sleeping with us. The only problem is what are we going to do when we have another one? My husband thinks we should get a bigger bed (king size).

With my daughter - she would sleep in the bassinet at night - but in the crib for naps from day 1. We really didn't have a problem when went to transfer her to the crib full-time. Plus, we really didn't have a choice - she was getting too long for the bassinet. Her feet were sticking out of the end.
