opps!...we let our son get used to sleeping in our bed Question We are new parents of a beautiful baby boy Unfortunately we ignore all warning from other parents about not letting our child sleep in our bed Since the 1st day he was born we allowed him to take naps in our bed but would put him in his crib to sleep at night Now he is 4 months old and refuses to sleep in his own crib I know this is basically our fault but we are now suffering the consequences of our actions There is also a part of me that worries to have him sleep all by himself I feel like I won’t hear him crying in the middle of the night versus him being right next to me and watching him sleep It all comes down to what is healthier for the 3 of us How do I get him to sleep in his own crib Should I start out by having his crib in our bedroom for a while to calm my own fears

sleep Question My son is 2yrs old and one month and he is having trouble sleeping through the night I have read countless books (easy 2 do as he wont sleep ) and tried a variety of methods We stick to the same routine every night Last thing before bed we have wind down time and he has a bottle of warm milk Shortly after we put him to sleep in his cot So initially there is no problem he doesnt protest and actually goes down quite calmly Roughly 2 hours or more after he has gone down he will wake up and start crying and wont stop until someone retrieves him We check on him and there is nothing wrong So we decided we would try a different method let him cry it out So that sounds pretty logical you would think that he would cry for less time or realise nobody is coming and give it up Not my son he will keep continuously crying eventually he falls asleep but then a few hours later he starts again Sometimes we give in and bring him to our bed once he is in the comfort of our bed he falls asleep immediately and sleeps through How do we get him to sleep through on his own Sleep deprivation is killing us During the day he gets plenty of activity and has even stopped having his afternoon nap We have also tried several different routines What we find is that the majority of textbooks etc all focus on the putting down thats the only bit we have got sussed its the sleeping through that is causing us problems Any help and advice would be appreciated Many thanks Raj

sitting and cring during sleep Question My son 1 yr old goes to sleep fine however is up a lot still at night I know he is teething and is has respiratory complications from having RSV at 3 months so he is always congested but he will start crying more like a wimper and I go to just check on him and he is sleeping but sitting up and crying I try to console him when he cries and is awake we let him cry it out and fall back asleep or give him his pacifier and goes right back down however he is very figity and seems to want to lay down I put him back in the crib laying down but he sits back up and wimpers till I give him his pacifer back which he slits out within 10 minutes after he lays back down Have you heard of this before or Is this just a way unconciously for someone to give him his pacifer back once he realizes it's gone Thanks
