My son is 7 months old and has been sleeping on the bed with my husband and I since he was born. We currenly have to rock him to sleep. We have tried several times to get him to sleep in his crib, but he will cry until one of us goes in and gets him. Several friends of mine have told me just to let him cry and check on him pericodically but he is very stubborn and will cry for 3 hours NON-STOP. Within those three hours I will go in and change him, feed him and make sure he has no other needs and then I leave and it starts all over. He sounds very scared when we leave him to cry, so much so that when I finally do give up and go get him he will not sleep the rest of the day or he wakes up screaming. I have watched all the shows and searched all the web sites searching for a solution. I just don't know what else to do. I would really like my bed back and I would like him to sleep in his crib and learn to comfort himself, I just don't know how to make it happen.
