Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

18 Month wont sleep in own crib! Help!!

My LO is 18 months old and for the past month or two he refuses to sleep in his crib. We can put him in there once we've rocked him to sleep but after about and hour or two he will wake up screaming until we put him to bed with us. That's the only way he will sleep through the night if he's in our bed. I don't know what to do with him. I've tried just standing by his crib until he falls back asleep and that don't work.

Thank you!!
