My son transitioned well surprisingly. He slept like crap in the room with us. I would put him in his crib with his blanket and have white noise going on during play time and he's just lay down and sprawl out so I believe I got lucky. He didn't cry or fuss at all. He actually slept through the night within 2 nights.

@busymom_lovinlife, he cried it out for his nap earlier. I rewarded him and bragged on him so much when he woke up. And now he’s in bed tv is on Disney junior so I’m hoping he will lay there and fall asleep agai.

My daughter fought me many times with sleeping in her own bed at first. I would have to let her cry it out and she would eventually fall asleep in her own bed. The hardest part is not going in there and giving them what they want

I agree with pp, starting with naps in their own bed and or room helped and when it came to transitioning and sometimes i put a movie on in her room so it would help her want to stay in her bed in her own room. Also rewarding and encouraging them to stay in their own bed really helps the transition, start with rewarding and making a big deal after he takes a nap in his own bed

@courtt yea my daughter is extremely strong willed so I had to do the cry it out method with her

@chelleyb93, that’s what I thought about doing. He just cried himself to sleep in his crib just now for the first time

I started my daughter with nap time in her crib then progressed from there.
