| Hi! My son is 18 monthas and he's slept between us. A few days ago, we bought a same bed for him like us, and now hi's sleeping there.First, I took hem there just the nap time, and a few days latter I put him there the night too. So now, he's sleeping in his bed. I got these idea from another mom, and it's worked. |

| my 26 month old was in our bed tell about two weeks ago then we desided that enuff was enuff. I spoke to her sooner start speech teacher and her about it andthey both told me to put her in her room at bed time and shut the door two her room and jsut let her throw a fit. every time she gets out of the bed you put her back. being verry ferm with it and make her know that you mean bussness keep her door shut the hole time you are doing this. we bought a gate and put up accross her room and that helped keep her in to her room. this hole thing took about a week and now when I tell her to get in her bed she does it and is asleep with in 15 minnuts. Good luck |

| how did you keep your sanity while she was throwing a fit? we tried the tuff love thing before (my hubby's choice) and i remember telling him "i know this is for the best, but i am ready to choke you". it is so hard for me to not give in to her |

| With all of my kids I did this...At 6 or 7 months I moved there crib to their room. You put them down while they are awake, this goes for NAPS & NIGHT TIME - the first night is the toughest, both my younger kids cried for about 45 minutes total. You go in after 5 minutes of crying, check their diaper, tell them everything is fine, step out. If they are still screaming give them another 10 minutes and repeat...check diaper, tell them everything is fine and leave the room...give them 20 minutes next and repeat...The secopnd night, give them 20 minutes and reapeat...At this point my kids only cried for 30 minutes the second night...Third night, they slept through the night...And have been able to go down in their own beds since...Yes, sometimes thay wake up...we have a monitor, we just check on them and leave their room...The result is AMAZING...My two year old has slept through the night since 6 months, he LOVES his room, it is his sanctuary, he loves his bed, he loves nap time, and at night when it's time to sleep, he grabs dads hand and leads him to his room for his "tuck-in". This is all easier when you start early...babies have to learn to self sooth...we can wake up in the middle of the night and put ourselves to sleep, a baby doesn't know anything but to cry...GOOD LUCK to you! |

| Like they said it is tuff Love. Blaney screamed and yelled teh first night for 45 minnuts. now I tell her go get your mewmew pillow and a book and lets go to bed. She knows that bath is at 7pm and then its bed time. If my hubby is not home she will not go to bed she has to have her daddy time. |
