I'm not at all comfortable with the thought of having my baby sleep in a crib so therefore she will sleep with me & her dad . Eventually I will have to get her to sleep in her own bed but until then she is to sleep in my bed & idc what anyone has to say about it
Opinions on crying it out? My baby is 8 1/2 months old. I've tried the no tears method and it worked a couple times but now it doesn't anymore. I do squats while holding her and rock her (21 lbs baby) for over an hour each nap all for nothing. My friend said she did cry it out and by the 3rd day her baby would only cry 5 minutes and now he's totally fine with sleeping in the crib. Opinions please? I am the only one who actually raises my kid. My fiancé does not help and I have no family that helps. So it is very hard on me. Thank you Edit: because clearly some of the women on here think I'm a monster. I am an EMT. When I go back to work, I will be gone 24 hours at a time. My daughter is almost 9 months old and cries every minute she is not in my arms. As much as I want to comfort her every second of the day, I can't. And it's better I get her used to sleeping on her own now, than not letting her cry and all of a sudden mommys gone for 24 hours at a time and she completely loses it and I can't just get off work to comfort her.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
am I a bad mom cause my two year old sleeps with me and tonight she sleeping in her bed and she crying now?!? I just can't take it no more she has to sleep in her bed there is no room for two babies and me being pregnant again!

Have you tried swaddling her?

Maybe try getting her something that has lights and plays a lullaby?

She doesn't like it. Hasn't liked being swaddled since she was about a month old. @jboogie

We have a night light in her room and we also leave her door cracked with the hallway light on. We also play her country since it's her favorite but it only works for about 5 minutes then she's back to crying. @imthequeen

no gas and she's not teething that's the first thing I checked. She literally will only stop crying if my husband lays in her crib with her or she's in our bed. But we won't let her sleep in our bed during the night. She's fallen off and we just don't like co-sleeping. @savvylynn1

Bless your heart. My first child was like that and we were also against co sleeping. I thought I was gonna pull all my hair out. She eventually stopped. I'm not sure how long it took. She is almost 17 and my memory doesn't go that far back.

I'm ready to buy ear plugs because I am so tempted every night to just lay her in bed with us and kick her dad to the couch. It's been happening for almost a week now. I hope it's just a phase and soon she will go back to going to bed with no problems. @jboogie

I hope so too for your sake and sanity. Good luck! I gave in to co sleeping on my last baby. She is 17 months now. I'm too old to fight the battle. Lol
