Yeah you have to do what's right for you and him to get him in his bed it don't hurt to try things to get him to sleep alone. it's hard and trail and error but you'll eventually find something that works for him

me yatts_mommy_0106, I've heard yes and no on so many things because of the sids issues... Still scares me but I want him to sleep in there

yes it can it never hurts to try I had to give my son my pillow but he was used to sleeping on a pillow when I was transitioning him to his crib from my bed which he was about 9 months

@henrysmommy, he doesn't like to be swaddled... Never has.. :( @wyatts_mommy_0106 I have done that but as soon as I let go he wakes up. Would putting a shirt that smells like me in his crib work?

make sure he is swaddled if he still likes to be also have him take naps in his crib so he gets use to it if he wakes in the middle of the night don't put him in your bed take him and rock him or even get in his crib with him and wait for him to go back to sleep and then get out his crib I also slept on the floor next to his crib and when he woke up I'd put my hand in his crib and hold his hand and he'd go back to sleep

I always swaddle my son when he won't stay still. Seems to work for now!
