Help Me Get My Baby Girl to Start Sleeping Back in Her Crib

I would start gradually by putting her in a swing in her room and then put her in the crib. Turining on a moblie might work because that's what I do for my 7 month old daughter. I give her a pacifier and then turn on the mobile, music, and the night light that is attached. The first thing is to be consistant because the more she sleeps in your bed she will never want to leave and you know you can't have that.LOL Momma needs to have her time too. Also make sure she is eating enough because sometimes babies are not feed enough so they continue to wake up constantly. Good luck because I know you can't wait to get a full nights rest.

Hi N.,

Went through a similar problem and found out my 2.5 yo has asthma. Only symptoms were mild congestion, runny nose, and night-time restlessness. Now that she's started treatment, we both sleep like champs!

Good luck!

Hi N.,
I have a 12 month old daughter who has had episodes of not wanting to sleep in her crib. We moved her to her crib (from a bedside bassinet) at about 4 months of age and she has been there ever since. But whenever her sleep routine was interrupted (like from travel, etc) it would take us a couple of nights to get back into it.
I can not let her cry it out so what we do is follow our bedtime routine ending with laying her down in her crib. If she starts crying or stands up in her crib, we walk in and lay her back down, stroke her hair once or twice and then leave the room. If it continues more than 5-6 times, then we just go in and lay her down. We never say anything to her and we never smile. We respond to her cries by going into the room but in our actions we try to be clear that it is now sleepy time.
It will probably be harder on your daughter since she has gotten used to sleeping with you, but it will work as long as you don't give in. I recommend starting on a Friday night so that hopefully by Sunday night she will have caught on and sleeping through the night.
If the teething is really driving her crazy and is hurting her so much she can't sleep, try giving a half dose of Tylenol. That should be enough to take the edge off and allow her to sleep for a few hours straight.
I think (although I don't remember for sure) that at 6 months she can sleep through the night without nursing. When we decided my daughter was old enough to sleep through the night without a snack we just changed her diaper (like we usually did when she woke for her mid-night snack) and then put her back to bed and she fell right back to sleep. By the third night she no longer woke up to eat.
Good luck! It will be hard to get her to sleep in the crib but the sooner the better!

I would say that she has developed a "sleep association" to you. Most mom's don't want to hear it, but she probably needs to cry it out in order to get over it and re-learn to put herself to sleep and keep herself asleep. I suggest Dr. Ferber's book "Solving Your Child's Sleep Problem" you only have to read a few chapters, and it works wonders!!! Good luck!!
