Hi- Here is a what I would do- I am sure you want your alone time with your husband, but what if you let the baby sleep with the two of you for a month,at night, during the day let her get used to her crib by taking naps in it? At least than your husband can also bond with the baby. I know for myself, have my daughter sleep in teh bed with us for the first 6 months, was the best, I didn't sleep as well, but she slept through the night, it was great. When we put in her crib at 6 mths, she would get up several times a night, until she was used to being in there. That is my suggestion! Enjoy your family time when he returns-
