I'm a 21 year mom with an 8 month old.?

Question

My bf and I went to bed last night and our 8 month old woke up crying because I put her in her bed while we were looking at a scary movie. What can I do to so she can sleep in her crib like she does in our bed??????????????????

Answer 1

it seems to me that she's scared of something get a night light for her room or maybe a mini fish tank of something that shows light
or you can get her a huge teddy bear so she can feel like someone is next to her
hey it worked for my little cousin and he love to sleep by hisself now

Answer 2

It's the hardest thing to do, but you need to make her sleep in her own crib. When she cries, cuddle and coo with her for a minute or two, lay her back down, stroke her back, turn on some music and leave her there. It may take a couple of weeks until she is accustomed to sleeping through the night in her own bed, but for your own privacy and peace of mind you have to do it. It's a lot easier to break the 'sleeping with mommy' habit at this age than when she's 4 or 5.

Answer 3

it is the hardest thing you can do but u need to let um cry they need to get use to sleeping alone remember they have slept with you their whole life so it will take a long time and whatever you do don't put a night light in their room it will make them afraid of the dark and no TV either

Answer 4

Let her cry until she realizes that you aren't going to go and baby her. I know it is hard, but ignore the crying and within a few days, she will start laying right down and going to sleep.

Answer 5

Speedy's right. It hurts to hear them cry, but you have to let them. If you can't stand it anymore, you can not go in until they quiet down some. If you give them the idea they can cry a fit, then they know that's all they have to do to get you in there!

Answer 6

Didn't you already ask this question like twice? You may want to try the parenting section, maybe you can get more responses there.
