General Advice
Quote From: aris_mommyI have a almost 13 month old and I can not get her to sleep in her own crib for anything. She has been sleeping in the bed with her dad and me for about the past 5 months. I am starting to deeply regret ever letting her to start to sleep with us. I am also 5 months pregnant and my belly is getting bigger so I need more space to sleep. I have tried putting her in her crib during the day to take her nap but she starts screaming. I have tried just leaving her in there to see if she would cry herself to sleep. But she just cries and screams until she actually makes herself throw up. She will fall asleep on the couch if I'm holding her or sitting next to her but once she wakes up and realizes i am not next to her she starts screaming. I am really desperate at this point, I don't know what to do. I need to get her to sleep in her own bed before the baby comes but I have no idea how to make that happen. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas that worked for them I would greatly appreciate it, thank you. the first thing that i would do if i was in your situation would want to call your pediatrician. He or she will have the best answers hopefully. my daughter did sleep with me until she was 12 months. I would wake up and put her back in her bed every time until she started sleeping on her own. She would also cry a lot but i always gave her a bottle. i sometimes rocked her until she started to fall asleep then put her in her bed. Then i started her on whole milk and she didn't get up anymore. i learned with my second one not to have him sleep with me.
