Crib Soothers

Talk to me about yours! G wont sleep in his crib. He used, but now only wants to sleep in our bed. It hasn't been that big of a deal, but Hubby is starting to get annoyed. I was thinking a crib soother might help, especially since we are going to try the No Fail Sleep Solution. My friend recommended a soother to help with this process. Recommendations appreciated!

We have a mobile that DS likes.  He can pull up now so we took the dangling animal part down, however, it also has a light projector.  He loves looking at the lights and playing the music.  Bonus - it has a remote control that we hang on his doorknob so we can turn it on without him seeing us.

He also loves his gloworm, but I think I am going to get the Fischer Price seahorse because it plays longer.

I use a white noise machine.  I use the rain or stream sounds.  A few things I've read here and there say the "Shhhhhing" sounds really calm a baby.  I believe it's true because when I rock him I "shhhh" to get him calmed down and then hummm songs to him.  That's why I use the rain or stream...they're more of a constant sound.  We used the heart beat bear from birth, 'til it died.  Not the "womb" bear, but more heartbeat bear.  He loved that too.

We are having the same issues. We noticed she woke up when we shut the tv off and went to bed. So I tried putting the radio on super quiet and we left the tv on all night last night for white noise. Wasn't an instant cure but I feel it was a success. She put herself back to sleep twice when she started her wake up cry and went back into her crib 3 times! At 4 am though - she was up for real - so we hit the couch til she got tired around 5:30.

O and every time I put her back I did it super slow - still with my arms around her and carefully slid them out from under her. Every time the eyes twitched open I stopped til they closed again. The no Cry Solution suggests all of this. I used to just lay her down quick and run - and that failed miserably.

ETA: The tv is in our living room - we have an apartment.  We keep her door open which is why she can hear it. She does not have a tv in her room like I made it sound!
