Sleep walking?

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
My dd is a little over 9 months old and has never really slept through the night. I have tried the whole let her cry thing. This doesnot work. Now she will only sleep in her crib for part of the night. I have been waking up with her in bed with me asleep but I don't remember going to get her. I don't know what to do. I feel like a bad mom because everyone says I spoil her too much.

    There are sleep training methods other than CIO or bedsharing. And, if you are exhausted to the point of not remembering getting LO, you may sleep too soundly to bedshare. I would do some research and find a sleep training method that works for you.

    I agree with all of the above.  You are not a bad mommy simply because your baby still wakes up at night or you bedshare, though.  I sleep with both my DD and DS and can care less what anyone has to say about it.  AND she still wakes up at night for bottles.

    They day someone says that they will take all night-time wakings for me -- that's they day that they can judge me and say my children are spoiled.  Until then - mind your business Big Smile

    Yep!  This is the second time around for me and I'm over it all.  We've done CIO with DS and it just did not work out -- never again.

    You are going to get unwanted advice about sleep from everywhere -- be careful becuase almost anything sounds like a great idea when you are going on your 3rd night without sleep.

    With that said -- I've found that "no cry sleep solution" by Elizabeth Pantly was a great read.  Lots of awesome sugesstions if you have the patience to put them to good use.  helped with DS #1 but I'm to tired to implement for DD right now - LOL. 

    That's the thing -- you have to lose sleep to get sleep.  During sleep training you have to expect some hard nights before seeing results.

    Good luck!
