| Shared sleeping |
I have a 21 month old that sleeps with me and my husband (his idea ), anyone have advice on how to get her to sleep in her own room, without having to here her scream for hours? |

| Yeah that Ferber method sucks...I hate to say this, but our son is 3 1/2 and we are still dealing with sleeping alone. Some things that have helped though are...getting a "big boy" bed and then we can lay with him in his room until he goes to sleep, then go to our own bed. Another thing we are going to try is something we saw on Super Nanny or one of those shows. She said sit near the bed one night until they go to sleep, then each night or so, move further and further away from the bed until you are out of the door. Eventually, they get used to you not being right there. Talking to a 21 mos old may not work, but a counselor also said to explain to the child how important it is for mom and dad to get good sleep and that they need to sleep together and that's how it is. Hope some of this helps, let me know. Good luck! |

| My friend has the exact same problem you do. At first her 3 year old daughter did that and finally they put a portable dvd player in her room and let her watched a movie until she fell asleep. And now her 1year old daughter is doing the exact same thing (sleeping in mommy and daddys bed). But her husband is probably to blame for this. He doesn't like to hear the kids crying. But I wish I could help you more. I'm sorry. |
