Daughter just turned 1; we’ve been co-sleeping, but need to transition her to her crib in her room. Any tips? She doesn’t even nap in the crib. But this Momma needs help!

Seems like it’s just putting her down and pushing through the cries...and not caving.

After her fighting the sleep in our bed for almost two hours, I was exhausted and put her in her crib in her room. She criedddd, daddy caved and went in to console her a bit, she eventually did sleep in the crib.

Now we just have to continue, and next wean her off her two nightly feedings 🙈.

Being a Momma is a rollercoaster ride 😩😊. Thanks ladies!

Go you! We also did “dreamfeeds” when we first moved back their bedtime, to try to minimize middle of night wake up. We’d feed them before bed at 7:30, then before we went to bed at 10ish, we’d sneak in and give them a bottle in the dark. It worked pretty well! They wouldn’t wake up after that until early morning then eventually gave that up entirely.

Tribeca Pediatrics has some pretty aggressive methods but even good tips for 1yrs and older. Dr. Michel Cohen has a book but it’s all free on their website.

Respectful sleep training/learning on Facebook. Those moms have all the tricks. I would put her in a sleep sack. She might need to have less space to roam.

TakingCaraBabies on Instagram also has great tips. Like this:

Not helpful but - my daughter just had her first nap in her crib. At the age of almost-6, while the crib was in use by her baby sister. 🤣🤣

Sending good thoughts. We’ve been on the sleep sharing train since this almost-6 year old was born, and the only thing that’s worked for me is doing it TOTALLY differently with #2!

Hahaha! What did you do differently with #2?

We sleep trained when my twins were younger than that, but maybe some of it could be helpful. At 4 months we pushed back their bedtime to 7:30 and put them down “awake but drowsy” (lol) in their own bassinets in our room. Then at 6 months my husband was done sharing our bedroom with them and we put them in their own room in their cribs. There were tears during both transitions but after a couple weeks in each transition they were fine. We would put them down and not go back in even if they cried, because if we went in to comfort them they just cried more. They are still champion sleepers today. I don’t know if any of that helps. I know moms who still have their kids in the bed and breastfeeding at 3 and 4 because they because they can’t deal with the crying. Or moms who had to leave their houses during the crying because they couldn’t deal with hearing it. It’s hard!

My daughter was similar, but she was almost 1.5 when we finally got her out of our bed. What worked for us was putting her right into her own double bed with a bed rail. I would lay down with her until she fell asleep and then if she fussed in the night I could go lay with her until she fell back to sleep.

I should note that she did not respond to any sleep training like my older son did.

Good luck!!

We sleep trained at 18 months using the Ferber method- but we shortened the absence times to what we were comfortable with (never longer than 10 min at the most). I expected a bad week of sleep training to follow but after 1 night he was good! Now we all sleep better. I sit with him in his room until he falls asleep and every few days he’ll wake up in the night but then I just go in and tuck him back in and sit with him for 5 minutes again until he’s sleeping. BEST DECISION EVER.
