Does anyone have any tips on how to get baby to sleep in their own bed?
We can't do this co-sleeping anymore, Thea is too mobile. Though, she will not stay asleep if we try moving her and she will not just fall asleep away from me.
My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤
So on Monday my daughter threw a fit and didn’t want to go to school, Tuesday she literally had a panic attack on the bus. She skipped yesterday because she couldn’t sleep that night. Well last night she went to sleep at 8:30 because we felt she was throwing fits because she was tired and not getting enough sleep. She woke up excited about school and the bus. But when the bus arrived she threw another fit. So I’m convinced it’s the bus she doesn’t like 🤦🏽 ♀ 🤦🏽 ♀ 🤦🏽 ♀
Off schedule because we went out to eat tonight. Hoping that means she will sleep a little later in the morning. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
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 think I might lose my mind. For the past 2-3 months my daughter has been sleeping through the night from 8:30pm-8:30am. We recently went to Hawaii where the time change was 6 hours behind. We’ve been home since saturday and getting her to sleep has been such a struggle. It’s 12:30 in the morning (which is 6:30pm in hawaii) and she will not go to sleep. The issue is once she falls asleep, she will sleep for 12 hours. So she’s going to sleep from 12:30(hopefully) till a little after noon. That’s not ok. I don’t know what to do. She will not go to sleep. We had such a good thing going and she was sleeping so well. I’m borderline crying listening to her scream so late at night.

Do you have a bed for her? I put my boys in their bed and I’ll lay with them until they are both sleeping. And I’ll slowly creep out the room. It’s been doing pretty good, Iv stopped co-sleeping as well and the past 2 nights my little one has been waking up a few times. It will get better I promise

@wildchildmama She woke up 3 times but was able to go to sleep fairly quickly again. Once she even was able to do it herself. I fed her, then she just laid there chewing on her paci, talking to herself til she just fall asleep again. It was a pretty successful 11.5hrs.

@wildchildmama me too! I am going to try and get her to nap less today and see if getting her down the first time will be easier. 🤞🤞🤞Thank you for your suggestions!

It's a pretty hated thing, but i did cry it out with my son and it worked great. We set a time to wait (we chose 30 min) and if he wasn't asleep or calm by that time, go in there, calm him down and restart. He never cried more than 10 minutes and after a month or so he stopped crying all together and got used to the bedtime routine

Hubby wants to just let her cry it out. It's nice to know that it may not tale very long. 🤞🤞🤞🤞
