Baby won't sleep

My 10 month old daughter never wants to sleep. She is so exhausted and just fights it like crazy. She only slept 8 hours last night. Then took a 20 minute nap this morning and as soon as I laid her down for her afternoon nap...she woke right up! She currently sleeps in our bed but I am trying to transition her into her bed. Any ideas or suggestions? I tried Ferber method but she won't stop crying even after 2 hours.

    My son has been the same way lately. I attribute it to him crawling now since its fairly recent.

  • Your LO sounds exactly like mine. We are transitioning into crib tonight. I don't have high expectations. He just feel asleep for first time today but he's clinging to me in my bed. This won't be good :(
  • How are you transitioning to crib tonight? The Ferber method or CIO? I hate seeing her cry but I know it is best for everyone for her to sleep in her crib. I usually just give up after an hour and put her in bed with us at night. Which I am sure just confuses her more.
  • We will try Ferber but we've tried in past and it didn't work. I'm just getting frustrated with being his sleeping buddy. Nothing gets done around the house and DH and I don't get a lot of alone time. We will keep trying until it works, I guess. He just gets soooo upset.
  • I totally feel the same way! Good luck tonight.
  • Well, it's not going well. It's been about an hour and he screamed bloody murder for the first 30 mins and then settled down a little, but he started up again. I don't know how much longer I can take. He's hysterical! I feel awful :(

    Going through this right now. It's horrible.

    ETA: Turns out all of the screaming was double ear infections. We ended up in the ER. Not trying sleep training again for a loooooong time.
