| im dealing with this right now too. only my girl is 10 months. im guessing you co slept or something? we never planned on it. she got sick a month ago and made her way to our bed half way throughthe night bc i didnt want her to cry as she had pnemonia. well now she is getting better and she maybe makes it 2 hours in her bed and hten wants in ours. i let her cry last night and it took maybe 10 minutes and she fell asleep. everytime she woke up i let her cry and she fell back to sleep. i did this with naps when she was about 7months old too. and it took about a week of her crying. everytime it got shorter and shorter. i am not the type to want to let my baby cry, but i refuse to co sleep. i had a friends who's baby got suffocated by his dad bc htey co slept and he rolled on him. so, im not for it. and i really dont want a 2 year old that wants to sleep with mom and dad. and im pregnant again so, i cnat imagine squeezing her in with my belly and my husband. lol not comfortable. i hope that helped. try music too. my girl loves ACDC, it makes her be quiet and relax usually. keep us updated on what you try!! good luck |

| I know it sounds cruel just let them cry and eventually they will get the hint that this is your bed. |

My first son would not sleep in his bed and it was very diffucult to get him to even try sleeping on his own. But, it happened he is 5 now and he sleeps all by himself like a big boy.
What I ended up doing was having him start napping in his bed, I made him fall asleep there and when I say "made him" I mean I would read him a story and then play soft music, but I never put him in the bed already asleep.
Anyway we started this late, he was 2! After a few days of getting used to napping in his room we just started the same routine in the evenings and he grew accustomed to it. Now, it wasn't all fun and games and loves and hugs either! There was crying on my part as well as his b/c you really do need to be firm and keep them in their room so it was hard work but it really didn't take long at all maybe less then a month. I think the younger you start the faster the results will be.
Good luck and keep us all posted on how your doing!!!

| The earlier the baby sleeps in their room, the better. I never had my son in my bed. We made a ni-night routine from the time he was about 3 months olds. Of course at this time he was still eating in the night, so he would be feed, with out me talking to him. By the time he was transitioned to a big boy bed at about 2 it was get a drink, brush teeth, get in bed, nightime story, turn on music, hugs and kisses, left the room and that was that. Sometimes he would fall asleep right away, sometimes not, but he RARELY fused, and now at 4 and a half, has gotten out of his bed only twice in his life. It does take consistancy. |

| I know it isn't pleasant hearing your child cry when you don't answer them. But it is what worked for us. Instead of waking up with him to rock him back to sleep, we would let him cry. He would just get so tired that he would go back to sleep. If you want, you can go and rock the baby to sleep or go reassure him. But don't bring him in your bed. The faster you do this, the better for both of you! |
