| I know exactly what your going through my 2yr old refuses to sleep in her own bed. Right now we put her to sleep on the couch while she lays her head on my lap. This usually happens when I'm BFeeding her little brother. Once she's asleep and we're sure of it my husband moves her to her sister's bed (with the hopes she doesn't wake up). Then we just hope for the best, we both know though that she'll be in our bed before morning. So if you get any advice that works let me know. |

| Well I've been sleeping with my daughter on her twin bed. I don't know if I'm ready to leave her alone. Maybe I should leave the night light on and bring the radio to my room. Anyone with suggestions please |

| I am having the same problem with my 8 month old. She falls asleep with us in the living room in her swing, she loves it. Then we move her to her crib and she will stay asleep until 12;30 ish. It never fails that she wakes up and thinks she needs a bottle and she will go back to sleep for another 4 hours or so. She doenst know how to self sooth herself back to sleep and she just cries and cries, I do not know what to do either. |

| i had that problem with my son. i did fix it though until my son started having really bad nightmares. if your daughter takes a nap during the day dont let her. no matter how cranky she is keep her awake. at 8pm give her a nice warm bath and a warm bottle. put her to bed and she will stay asleep. if she wakes up check on her and change her diaper and give her a bottle then put her in her crib. let her cry until she falls asleep but stay close enough so she can see you. dont look at her or ecknoledge her. its probably a safty thing with her. thats what was wrong with my son. after about a week she will start to sleep all the way through the night. it worked for me for about 6months up until the nightmares started. and if she is having nightmares its most likely has to do with something in her day. if you are trying something new or taking her new places that could be the cause. as for my son his day is filled with love and laughter and he has no reason to have nightmares. so i am at a loss. i hope this helps you |

| christina i suggest you stop sleeping with your daughter. it will just get harder to stop as she gets older. even if your not ready you have to let go. i had the same issue with my son and still do. my youngest sleeps by himself though. put her in her bed and sit next to it until she falls asleep. if she gets out of bed put her back in. play some soothing music but make sure not to say anything or make eye contact. that is very important. it lets her know you are there but by doing that you will let her know that you really mean go to sleep in your bed. it might take a few hours but each night the cry time as i call it will get shorter and shorter. many of my friends have taken my advice and tried this and it worked for them. i hope it works for you too. i know its hard letting go. i hate it with a passion but it is a part of life and every mother must go through it. it will work out fine |

| Okay so this will probably sound mean but just put that baby in her bed and let her cry. eveuntally she will go to sleep. I do this with my son because sometimes he refuses to sleep in his own bed. Now though after his bath, bottle, and nite nite playtime, he only crys for about 15 minutes then hes out till like 4 or six. Its totally ok to let your baby cry it out, i felt guilty at first but once my sons been changed, fed, played with, and rocked and he is still refusing to sleep and i know he is tired, i just let him cry it out. Dont worry though you will work it out in your own way, thats just my take on what i would do if i were you. Good Luck! |
