i have a question that i have a 15 month old baby who sleep with us in our bed.i have a 4 bed-room house and live in a joint family.so we have no room for my baby,so i tried putting baby in a crib along my bed .,but he is crying extremely,but i have a big room.so where i can set or place my baby crib.so he doesn't look me and not crying for me.so i need your suggestions.
Here's a great article in TIMES magazine about why children should sleep with parents:

As tacky as it is, we tack up a sheet between our bed and the crib so our 15 mo cant see us. It reduced and eliminated the crying. We take the sheet down when we have company. Just make sure there are no mirrors or tv screens that show a reflection of your bed. It also allows for intimacy without an audience. ;)

If you have the room, you may want to try a folding screen to divide the space between you and your baby. They have them at most stores. If you cannot find one or they are too pricey, you may want to hang a sheet from the ceiling so that your baby can't see you. Hope that helps!

Maybe get one of those folding screens to block the view? Also, do you use white noise? It might also be that he hears you. Running a fan for a constant drone can help a lot.
You might try placing a folding screen between your bed and the crib, so that the baby could not see you.
As long as you are in the same room it will be difficult for the baby to sleep by himself since he has been sleeping with you for so long.
I had that problem but I am a single mother so I didn't care if he slept with me but evenually he just slept in his crib. Your baby just feels secure beside you so see if he has another serurity maybe a teddy bear or a favorite blanket and he may sleep. My son had to have his pasifer or he wouldn't sleep then a got a teddy bear and I would rock him to sleep with it and so that my sent would be on the teddy and then laid him down and he slept. Just a suggestion. I have to share my room too so I know where you are coming from but you could just put a blanket over the rail so he don't see you that is also what I did with Jacob.
Good luck
Can you hang up a sheet to separate an area for him to stay in. That is what we have done at my mom's house. My 6mo has always had his own room and I didn't what to have a problem of putting him back into his own room so we put up a sheet to separate the room.
Good luck.
I highly reccommend the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Marc Weissbluth! I Bought the book shortly after our daughter turned 1 and love it! I reccommend it to all moms! Good luck.
I hung baby quilts on the side of the crib (just draped over the side) to block the baby's view... if he couldn't see me--he would sleep.
