Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Sleep Help

So our almost 7 month old daughter will not sleep in her crib. She slept in a rock n play and would sleep all night since she was 3 weeks old. We have been trying for a little over a month to get her to sleep in her crib and she isn't having it.

 We've tried letting her cry it out, we've tried a ferber type method, but nothing works. She doesn't have a hard time going to sleep initially, we put her in drowsy but awake and she can go to sleep with minimal crying. The problem is she only sleep for 1-2 hours and then wakes up and screams and screams. She jsut gets more and mroe worked up instead of eventually going to sleep. I'm at a loss as to wwhat to do.

Any advice. My first two boys never had this problem and I feel lost and desparate.

Re: Sleep Help

  • Hmmm... is she a mover in the crib?  If she isn't could you maybe add rolled up blankets under her crib sheet to kind of conform to her body like if she were in the RnP?  Also raising the one end of the mattress up on a slight incline??

    We transitioned DS into his crib at about 16 weeks and did all of these steps, plus he was still swaddled (But I know you can't do that now).  It think it helped to make a smoothish transition...

    I'm sorry I don't have any other advice Tongue Tied
