Bedtime

Someone please help! My daughter is 15 months nopw, and when she was born up until 6 months she slept so well in her crib all night. I made the mistake of bringing her in with us a few times, and she has been in ever since. Now she will not sleep in her crib, and she wont go to sleep unless I am lying next to her cudling her. Any advice on getting her back in her own bed??

I remember my parents telling me they had this problem with me. They just put me in my bed and let me cry until I went to sleep. It lasted about 2 days before I got back in the swing of it. I can't imagine having to do it, but I think it is a necessary evil! Good luck.

Thanks, I am going to start doing. I am just worried she will cry for hours before finally going to sleep

I had the same problem with DD. We had co-slept, but she started night walking and we thought it was too dangerous to not have her contained. I would put her in her crib and just sit next to it. I would slowly move closer to the door, until eventually she slept without me in the room. I learned this trick from Super nanny.
