Guilty.
I just let my 11 1/2 month old son CIO for 10 minuets in his crib. He's sounds asleep but I feel horrible. I work 6pm-2am and my husband lets him fall asleep in his swing until I get home at 2:30am. By then he's ready to nurse so I take a shower and bring him to bed with us. I can't sleep train in 2 days but I don't get any sleep if he's in bed with us ☹️☹️
My son is one year old and i want him to go back and get use to sleeping in the crib I put him in the crib and all he does is cry and I spoke to his doctor and his doctor said let him cry like in 2 or 3 days he should get use to sleeping on his own has anyone try it ?
Sleep associations.. I've created some bad sleep associations like nursing him until he's fallen asleep or rocking him until he's completely asleep and then putting him down and I can't do that anymore. It's getting so much harder to rock him to sleep because he's getting bigger and I have a bad back. I honestly don't know how to get him to fall asleep on his own :( do you ladies have any advice ?
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. ?
I see a lot of moms who have a hard time with their babies sleeping. One thing I have learned... Is consistency. When he was first born, I just let him sleep whenever and wherever and it started to get to me. He had hard times sleeping so then I started a schedule. Where everyday around the same time, I would put him down in his crib. It took a few weeks for him to get used to his nap time and bed time but it worked. Now, around the same times, he gets sleepy automatically and I put him down and without much fuss, he's asleep and usually stays asleep.
I Don't Know If I Wanna Get My Baby His Own Bed Or Let Him Sleep With Me !!

Look up actual sleep training. Letting him cry alone for ten minutes isn't it.
Hopefully you find something that works better for you

If you're both going to commit to the crib, I don't see 10 min for an almost 1 year old as detrimental. If you're going to keep going back and forth between bed, crib and swing, not fair to baby at all.
Just my thoughts on it but you've had 11 months to get this baby comfortable and secure in a crib - it's not going to be any easier as he gets older.

Any suggestions on how to get dh on board?

You need to do whatever works for you. We as mothers always thinks our own methods are the best but it's what works best for you, your life schedule and your family.
My DD is almost 1.5 years old and I too felt extremely guilty after doing the CIO method. I anticipated it being a long and dreadful process but luckily it only took her 2 days to get her use to sleeping in her crib alone.
I respect other mothers' methods. As long as baby isn't harmed, then I think, "to each his own".
Hopefully you can plan around your schedule and it all turns out ok. It won't last long but I agree with the other comment, if you don't stick to whichever method, it's just a waste of time. Good luck momma :)
