Mommas please help!!! So i started off co sleeping with my son after his first birthday I decided to start transitioning with the cry it out method. It broke my heart! But surprisingly worked after only the second day. This last week he's had this awful viral cold and has been refusing to sleep in his bed! When i put him in there he has a complete tantrum, hits his head on the crib railings, kicks the crib, and throws himself all around. Naturally i took him out and put him in my bed and he sleeps perfectly fine without me laying with him. Any suggestions to get him back to his bed?
I wrote several children psychology books and most of them criticized cry it out method so bad.. personally tried it once and think so too... @star_wars_freak_2010, gave super advice, I would recommend the same
@sincerem03, I second that thought too. My LO was the same way but after she got better it was back to her bed
Personally until the cold goes away I'd keep him in your bed and then transition him back to his own. I'd start in steps. Start him out in his bed then if he wakes up in the night and won't go back to sleep in his bed bring him to yours. Eventually after a while he'll sleep in his own bed. Also if the cold is real bad I'd make sure his heads elevated so he can breathe. I used to let mine sleep in their bouncer when they had a cold. It worked wonders for breathing issues. I also made sure I had vapor rub and a humidifier running. Hope this helps.
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...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I never thought my daughter would sleep in her own bed (co slept since day 1) but when she turned 2 it just seemed like she was ready and excited to sleep in her "big girl bed". I know it's hard if you're ready and he's not (I was ready way before she was 2) but enjoy the moments you get with him snuggled in your bed. these days are short and we will want them back one day! I keep having to remind myself that
