My son is a year and a half. We typically walk him till he is asleep or drowsy before we put him down. About 2 weeks ago, I started putting him down after his evening bath bribing him with his pacifier and he would go to bed on his own then I had to be gone for two weeks. Now he absolutely is against going into his crib and has moved on beyond the pacifier. Any ideas on how I get him to sleep of his own accord in his crib?

Why not get him a small bed that has guard rails. Seems as though he is over the crib maybe?

Not sure I fully understand why he won’t go to sleep

At a certain point, we just let out sons cry until the calmed down and fell asleep. Usually lasted b/w 5 - 35 minutes. Its heart wrenching but it was the quickest method. Kids have to learn how to self-soothe or else they will rely on you to always put them to sleep.

My almost 3 yr old has reverted to crying once we put her down again. She cries for 10-20 mins, then passes out. She was good for the last year…sleep regressions are fun.
