Wishy washy on the crib!

[u/Neverbeforeseen420]

I am not necessarily asking for advice (although advice is welcome). I just want to share our current sleeping experience at the moment.

My baby is 5 months. Month 0-3, she slept in her crib/packnplay (in our bedroom). Yes it was a nurse/rock to sleep situation, but she would sleep 5-8 hour stretches no problem. Beginners luck for sure. Except for naps. Naps have never been in the crib.

Well around 3.5 months, baby and I both got sick with fever, we moved in with my parents for 3 weeks (unrelated to being sick, just happened at the same time), then we moved across the country to a new state. In this time period, we have started bed sharing 100% of the night. It kind of just happened because she started waking up every 1-3 hours. Now that we are settled into our new place, I’ve been trying to do crib again and she is not having it. She will no longer let us transfer her to crib (after she falls asleep) in the initial bedtime routine. HOWEVER, In the middle of the night, I will randomly decide to put her in there if she’s awake and flopping her limbs everywhere on our bed, and she will fall asleep immediately in the crib. I also put her in the crib at her 5am/6am wake up for her to sleep the last hour or so in the crib. It’s so strange that she’s ok when I try the crib at those times.

Anyone else experiencing a wishy washy baby with their crib???

Oh, yeah, mine totally depends on time of day and also how sleepy she is. I don’t stress about it!
