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?

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.

@sincerem03, I second that thought too. My LO was the same way but after she got better it was back to her 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

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
