This is Ethan's first time hanging out in his crib since he sleeps in a bassinet next to our bed. I needed to get a few things done around the house and he was wide awake, so I laid him down and he just stared at the ceiling fan for a little while. I'm not sure when we'll transition him to his own room, but hopefully I will find the willpower to resist checking on him every 5 minutes!
It's best to transition him to his crib after he starts sleeping through the night more consistently usually around 4-5 months old. This way you aren't getting up all night long and have to walk into another room. Just keep doing what you are doing by putting him in his crib from time to time so when you do make the big transition it will be easier. Let him take some naps in there. You think it will be hard for you not to check on him but it's easier than you think. You're doing a great job being a new mommy! Congrats again! He's a cutie!
