I need some suggestions...
My daughter is 7 months old and still sleeps in her rock n play. We started her in the rnp because of her terrible reflux, but it has been gradually getting better since she was 5 months old. I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of to transition her into the crib. There is a wedge under the mattress, I bought the $40 magic sleep suit, the zip a dee. I put her in awake, she WIL NOT soothe herself.. even after 1-2 hours. (She currently self soothes herself to sleep w/o crying within 5-10 mins in rnp) I've put her in asleep, which usually results in her waking up directly after I put her down. Or occasionally she will stay asleep, but wake 2 hours later and won't go back to sleep. I am in desperate need of some ideas as she is about 19-20lbs and quickly approaching the 22lb limit! (Pic for attention)

@yestatipa yeh, I know that if I stay consistent and always put him in his pack n play for naptimes and bedtimes he'll get used to it and all I do is rock him/breastfeed him s bit then I'm able to put him down. He usually gets up about one time but I be so tired and don't feel like getting back up to put him back in his PNplay (also knowing he sleeps better next to me in bed) once I pick him up he stays with me. I need to stop because that's why he's used to being next to me in the bed. The most he'll sleep in his bed is 2-4 hours then wake up. But breast feeding has done wonders when he sleeps with me because he always goes back to sleep...bad thing is just that he doesn't self soothe. Got to break this habbit because I know no one else will tolerate it.
@ashleyshantel1 thats true, she may not be ready yet... I'll have to try again every few weeks, thanks!
@yestatipa did you rock her to sleep first then put her in crib or let her self soothe? I tried just continually putting her in the crib at night and nap time for almost 2 weeks and she did not break.. she refused to sleep and was miserable 24 7
My daughter wouldn’t sleep in her crib until recently. She is 15 months and just transitioned from the bassinet to the crib. She was 24 lbs and the limit was 21-22lbs. I refused to put her in the bed with me so transitioned when she was ready. One night I put her in the crib with a bottle of milk, one of those small stuffed animals that projects on the wall and plays nursery songs, turned the light out and laid down beside the crib. She didn’t even realize i was there. She drank her milk, put it to the side, played with the projector stuffed animal for 15 mins then fell asleep. Slept for 7 hours straight that night. Since then I’ve had no problem with her falling asleep on her own in the cribs for naps, or at night. Some nights it takes her maybe 30mins to fall asleep but she still does it on her own. Now I just keep the monitor with me so I know when she falls asleep, I’ll go in and get her milk bottle so she doesn’t wake up later and start drinking it.
I had to transition my daughter from the swing to the rock N play and then to the crib. It was hell each time but the worst was the crib. 😩 What I did was continue putting her in the crib for nap time and night. Even if I lost sleep, I’d wake up, soothed her and put her back in. It was exhausting for a few days but she ended up getting used to it.
@yestatipa yes, I have tried the crib at nap time also, still no luck! Rnp= rock n play
Have you tried laying her in the crib during nap time too? Also, what is RNP?
I did what @ashleyshantel1, did recently, when I transitioned my daughter into a twin sized bed. I let her sleep with her favorite plush toy. Granted, my daughter just turned two so the plush was a good idea. Do a routine. Sticking to a routine helped me. My daughter understands after bath time, she puts her p.j’s on, drinks her cup of milk while I read to her, brushes her teeth, and we pray and then she to sleep. I feel your pain. My daughter would scream and cry for hours because she didn’t like her crib.
