Why does baby not sleep in cradle?

The most common reason babies don't sleep in the cradle is the adaptation process to the new sleeping environment. When babies are used to sleeping in your arms, while being rocked, or next to a parent, the cradle can feel unfamiliar and unsafe to them. Especially between 3-6 months when sleep habits start to settle, the transition to a cradle can be challenging. Babies can also have disrupted sleep if they are sick, teething, or going through a developmental leap. Additionally, the temperature of the cradle, the firmness of the mattress, or the light level in the room can also have an effect. The most common pediatric recommendation is to place the baby in the cradle when drowsy but still awake, so they learn to associate the cradle with sleep. If this situation lasts for weeks and the baby shows restlessness, weight loss, or excessive crying, it's appropriate to consult a pediatrician.
