My baby doesn't like her crib

my LO hates her crib! She's been co-sleeping with me for a while and I'd like her to start sleeping in her crib, but every time I put her in there she cries. I've tried to play with her while she's in it, and gave her a few toys so she's comfortable in if during the day but if I try to put her down for nap or bed time in it, she fusses and cries. Any suggestions?

  • I'm having the same problem with my son. He doesn't like his crib as well. He's been co-sleeping with me and I'm ready for him to sleep in his bed. But every time I lay him down once I get him to sleep he wakes up. Also having trouble getting him to sleep through the night. Anyone have any suggestions.
  • Yeah my LO doesn't sleep more than 2-3 hour stretches :(

    I have only been able to put my LO in her crib once she is asleep.  If I try putting her in her crib to fall asleep on her own she just cries until I go get her. 

    Good luck!
  • I recently resorted to "tricking" my DS.  He falls asleep on a receiving blanket on my shoulder.  After I lay him down, I put the receiving blanket on my hand and arm, and stroke his face with it, so he thinks I'm still there.  Once he settles, I gently remove it and leave the room.  Some nights at first it took 2 or 3 times of holding and swaying before he fell for it, but last night I didn't even need to use the trick.  I laid him down, he opened his eyes for a second, then went back to sleep!  

    Good luck with your journey!
  • Ugh! My lil one was sleeping in her crib until a week ago! Now she refuses and cries the minute I trying to put her down. Even if I try to trick her and put her in when she is sleeping she wakes up and cries!!
  • @mfitz33 my LO is doing the exact same thing!
