I don’t want to be self deprecating but I feel a bit dumb. Our baby is 4 months old and outgrowing his bassinet. I’m not sure what to do about cribs.

Right now, when I settle him in the bassinet I hug him and he falls or settles into asleep. I can lay him gently. This seems like it will have to end while using the crib? I’m 5 feet tall, so I can’t reach the bottom of a crib to lay him gently or hug him. What’s the process people typically use here?

It seems like it won’t be safe for him to use a floor bed for a while, and the floor beds with doors are unsafe? And cribs can’t have doors (in the US)? How are people dealing with this? Do people (lightly) drop their babies into cribs?
