My 4 month old does not like to take naps in his own crib. He sleeps in it during the night until he…

it's actually good for him to do that. That way he'll know that when he's in his crib, it's bed time, and while he's somewhere else it's just nap time, but Of course you have to keep an eye on him if he wakes up, ones they start rolling it's really dangerous

I agree with @elismommy428 that's what I was about to say!

Just lay him in there he will learn I promise mine used to be the same way.

@hamman13 his in there right now playing and rolling around but when he gets sleepy and fussy I'll lay him in it with a stuff animal blanket and he starts to cry after a while of just laying there. I'll give him the pacifier and he starts to scream his head off

@elismommy428 @tahtahme but its not like i can just lay him in it and he goes to bed. its a struggle getting him to bed. he HAS to be rocked and patted on his butt

Depends on what your comfortable with. I tried everything for my kid but the only thing that worked was letting him cry. Now 7 months later he loves his bed actually cries for it and sleeps 7-7 all night

And something I tried but didn't work for my kid was I had a rocking chair or you can use a chair and sit there in the room until he falls asleep till he gets used to it! Maybe it will work for you guys. It works for some babies not mine it just ticked him off lol

@hamman13 I hate hearing him cry. he literally screams where he starts to turn red and choke. His crib is in our room. Oh yes!! My mom gave a rocking chair to my grandma before I got pregnant and when I had my baby my grandma didn't want to give it back lol but she just passed away 2 months ago so I'm going to bring it home and use it. he loves being rocked.

Yes try it. N maybe that will work for him. Hey what ever works for you n baby. N I hated hearing him cry but honestly I tried everything n nothing worked for us. My lo is so stubborn. But he only cried a few days n by the 3rd day it was less than a min. So I was happy. I benefited greatly.

But I wish that I could have done it with less crying bc I hated that it was hard. But he didn't like the other ways it made him cry more 😞
