Rather than relying on a specific birthday, look for these signs:
If your baby’s head or feet extend beyond the nest, it’s becoming too small.
A cramped position can reduce comfort and limit natural movement.
Rolling is one of the biggest indicators that it’s time to stop using a baby nest.
An active baby can quickly change position, making close supervision even more important.
Some babies enjoy stretching and kicking.
If your baby constantly pushes against the padded edges, they may simply need more open space.
As babies grow, they become increasingly curious.
They reach, grab, twist, and move much more than newborns.
A larger play mat or blanket on the floor often becomes a better option during this stage.
