DS was 2 weeks when he had outgrown the bassinette - so went into cot - and was fine.

DD was around 3 months and the transition was perfect. Didn't even notice a difference and she still sleeps through the night ok.

My Ds was about 8 weeks old when we moved the bassinet into the babies room during the day to get used to the room. At around 10 weeks I started putting him in his cot during the day and found he had no trouble adjusting ( I thought he would) So we just moved him straight into the cot from then.....he looked so small in there tho!!!

But you get a bit of your life back having your room to yourself and a bit more "US TIME" if you know what I mean!!! If you have a good baby monitor then you will have peace of mind!!!

DS2 was about 4months old. The transition was fine. No hassles. Still slept (and still is sleeping) through the night just as he was in the bassinette. His cot is still in our room though.
Good luck with your DD. I hope everything goes fine with her and you aswell.
It's so scary when they move into their own room. I'm a sook though.

If the basinette separates from it's base, you could place the basket part into the cat for a while first.

DS was in the bassinet in my room till about 4 months... He grew too big for it, so I had to move him to the cot in his room, it was hard emotionally, but a pretty easy physical move. I put my DS in the cot for day sleeps at first, to get him used to it, but still had the nights with us. When he was used to it, I did the transition. Worked well for me.

Good luck with the transition for your DD.
