Babies: 9 - 12 Months

sleeping in crib

Any moms have LO's that don't sleep in their crib yet?  Leia still sleeps at the side of our bed (in her own bed) and we have no idea when we will transition.

Re: sleeping in crib

  • Claire is currently sleeping next to me in bed.  We bought her a crib and put it together and she has taken some short naps in it this week.  I have such mixed feelings about getting her out of our bed.  On one hand I can't wait to cuddle with DH again on the other she is going to be so far away in the room next door :(  She fell asleep playing with her seahorse tonight I just love her next to me!

  • DS sleeps in his only occasionally for naps.  We co-sleep at night, and usually he wakes up as soon as his head touches the crib mattress when I try to put him down at naptime.  The thought of transitioning seems so far away right now.

  • It has been less than a month since we transitioned  DS (most ways completely) into his crib from our bed.  He was in his basinette for 3 months, then in his crib for a couple weeks, then we all got stressed out from moving so he ended up back in our bed, in his crib another two weeks then I got sick and he wanted to be near me ALL THE TIME.  We travelled (another change) and then the crib was recalled.  Finally, the time arrived; I wasn't getting much sleep with him kicking, pinching, pulling etc in his sleep.  Don't worry about it too much unless someone is paying the price as a result from the situation (ie lack of sleep or another issue on her part or yours and DH's part)
  • DD still sleeps with us as well. We have started trying to put her down in there while we are awake, and then taking her to our room when she wakes up. It works on and off.

    I honestly really have no desire to transition her yet. I know we should though, which is why we've started putting her in there more.

  • He's still in our bed.  I totally blame myself for waiting so long to transition him to his crib...now he wakes up every 20 - 45minutes when we put him in there at night.  And that's only after being put in sound asleep.  No way does he go for the drowsy but awake philosophy.  We are planning on trying Ferber in a week or two...I am so reluctant to do that but I've tried everything else.
  • He sleeps in his crib, but I sleep in his room :) I'm not ready to let him go it alone yet. Or more like, I'm not ready to go it alone yet.
