I feel like a bad mom ugh.. My Leah is crying cause she is in her bed. And the doctor told me to let her cry but check…

@nelly1991, I sent you a private message with a picture of it! 😅

@dreamermom would love to see it

@nelly1991, ours was given to us by a friend... it was custom made by his friend... I can post a picture of it.

@dreamermom okay how much u paid for your

@nelly1991, my daughter climbed out of hers at 9 months... so maybe just pushing her crib up to your bed will make more financial sense... just make sure the crib mattress is lower than your mattress by a couple of inches... then they can't accidentally roll into your bed!

@dreamermom I'm gonna buy one

@nelly1991, I actually have a 'co-sleeper' it attaches to the bed... so they have their own 'safe space' but they are close enough, and I seriously slept better!

@dreamermom true I didn't want to co sleep but the doctors scared me with SIDS and I was hearing stories about people losing their babies to SIDS I got scared

@nelly1991, we tried directly going to the crib after she climbed out of the 'co-sleeper bed' that attached to my bed... and after 3 horrible nights I was like I'm going to loose my mind if we don't do something different! That was our solution and I'm SO glad that we did! Worked out well, and everyone got more sleep! 😅

@dreamermom that's sound like a good idea

Here is what I did... I took the side off her crib, pushed it against the wall, and pushed my bed up to the crib... then she was 'in her crib' but was close enough I could touch her, and she could smell me... after about a month, I pushed the bed away a couple feet and put the side back on the crib... after a couple weeks, I moved the crib across the room... and then a few more weeks we moved her to her own room... the transition was almost seamless... there were a couple rough night, during teething... but you will have that no matter what!

@hannahbbtt I started co sleeping cause the doctors scared me with the SIDS stuff.. And it freak me out

@nelly1991, oh don't feel bad, it's normal to feel that way. I did too at first. I still feel bad when she has her moments

@hannahbbtt I gave in and went to go get her I felt so bad

My best friend still cosleeps with her 1 and a half year old boy so don't feel like u have to use the crib ya know? Only u know what's best, good luck!

Ladies I gave up I went and got her out her bed I couldn't do it

@nelly1991, oh ur crib training? Ugh god bless mommas that co sleep and are doing the transition of the crib. I crib trained mine when she out grew the cradle around 4 months and that was even kinda hard. I couldn't imagine doing that when there a little older but you'll get it momma, just takes time.

@dreamermom it just sucks....

@dmm1976 your right

It's not for everyone... you have to do what works best for you and her... I could not do the 'cry it out' method! I tried that for a few days and she literally cried for over an hour EVERY TIME! So finally, when I was completely frazzled, I'd go in and talk to her ask her questions and try to figure out what was wrong... I know my daughter won't want to 'snuggle' for long... and now she's almost 2, I will still give her the option of a snuggle before her nap/bedtime... usually it's only 3-5 minutes and she's ready for bed... but occasionally if she's stressed or had a rough day it might be as much as 15-20 minutes... then she's reaches for her bed and I put her in, and she falls asleep by herself... it works for us... keeps my stress down!

@nelly1991 if it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work...go with your mommy instinct. Sure it sucks having a bad sleeper, but they do learn eventually. I figure, I'd feel less Guilty about telling a 4 yo to go back to bed, than letting my toddler bawl his eyes out.

@hannahbbtt I know that's she been in my bed for this long cause hearing her cry hurts.. And she keeps saying ma ma..

I only let my baby cry for five minutes then I go in and get her. I can't do the whole cry it out thing, it breaks my heart

@dmm1976 I feel so bad. But I know she needs to sleep in her bed. But just hearing her cry sucks

My DH will never let our 19 month old cry. And I'm still getting up 3-4 times a night to soothe him...I wish we would have sleep trained.
