How can I get my baby to sleep in his own bed?
Answer:
put his bed in your room to start him off
Try getting him to sleep in his own crib starting at 1 once a week.
If he crys close the door and try to ignore it. I know it is hard, but if you dont start doing this at an early stage he will never learn to sleep on his own.
I would check the crib just to make sure there's nothing about it that is disturbing him. Make sure it's comfortable and doesn't have anything in it that will hurt him.
After that, I would start by staying with him while he falls asleep on the bed and then slowly work at leaving sooner and sooner. Eventually, you should be able to just set him down and let him go to sleep on his own. Good luck.
I have exactly the same problem with my 14 month old. I gave up when he was 6 months old. We co-sleep. Everyone told me not to because I'd never be able to get him out. I decided I didn't know any 20 year olds who co-sleep so I moved him in. Sometimes it is inconveinent, but it is so nice to cuddle up to him and know he is safe and happy. I'm gong to try to put him in a toddler or twin bed in a couple of months. I think making babies cry it out is mean and unnecessary. Half the time, the people who suggest that don't have kids.
How I get my nephew to sleep is I put him to sleep on my lap and if he wakes up as soon as I put him in his crib I give him some toys to play with and sooner or later he falls asleep.
eventually you have to toughen up and put him in his crib and walk away... put a radio on or what ever...
if you wait til he is asleep before putting him in the crib it doesnt teach him how to fall asleep in the crib.. it only makes things harder for you
so when he is awake but drowzy... put him in the crib and rub his back for a while or what ever.. sing... then walk away.. if he wakes up DO NOT GO TO HIM - this trains him that he can wake up.. you must be tough and let him fall back asleep on his own no matter how long
my daughter is the same age and she sleeps in her bed. i know it's hard but you have to let your baby cry. it won't hurt them or give them any emotional damage. they have to learn that you can't hold them all the time. get him/her really tired and place him in his/her bed and pull the door to where it's almost closed. once they see taht you aren't going to come get them they'll start realizing that this is where they should sleep. you have to be firm in your routine. good luck!
