baby won't to sleep in her crib?

Question

my baby8 months when i put her in her crib at nitgt she wakes up every 40 minutes some times less unless i put her in my arms then she sleeps

Answer 1

My boy will be 9 months on Friday and things are pretty much teh same here. Please don;t let anyone make you feel bad for this! Your baby is nto spoiled, you have simply nurtured her need to be close to you. As she gets around more, she will become m,ore independant and do things on her own. Mine has fallen asleep on his own without me holding him twice this week. I am relieved to have a few minutes' time to myself but at the same time, I know that soon enough I'll be the one begging to hold him while he sleeps and he wants to be alone :(
I tried the let him cry bit, 20 minutes every afternoon I would leave him in his crib. Its just nto worth it. The doubt on his facew every time I went to take him out, theres not a chance I will continue to instill those fears in him. Your baby needs to know when she wants or needs you that you will be there.

Answer 2

I know it breaks your heart to hear her cry, but as long as she isn't hungry, in need of a diaper change or in pain, it's ok to let her cry a bit before falling asleep. I would suggest keeping her on a schedule if possible. My son is almost 5 months and at night he's adopted the routine of taking a bath, eating and then crib time. It may help if you have some sort of crib toy - like one with lights and/or music. I bought one for my son that plays for 20 minutes and that's typically enough time for him to fall asleep. My son also likes a night light on. He typically falls asleep around 8:00 p.m. and sleeps until 5:00 a.m. the next morning without waking up. Best of luck!

You need to let her cry. I know that it sounds mean, but you've got to make her realize that that is her bed and she needs to sleep in it. It's going to take about a week, but just let her cry it out.
When she does cry don't go into the room immediately. Then after 10 mins go check on her. Don't talk, turn on lights or anything. Make sure that she's not wet, hungry or stuck somewhere. DO NOT PICK HER UP!!! Then, leave the room. Next time she cries let her cry herself to sleep.
Believe me, it works. My son started sleeping thru the night at 6 months and goes to bed every night at 730pm and doesn't wake until 6am. He is now almost 4 yrs old.

Bite that fist and let her cry it out. You can go into the room a few more times, just to reassure yourself, but no verbal or physical contact.

Answer 4

If what u want is for her to sleep in her crib,i suggest letting her "cry it out" (assuming that she is not sick or hungry). i promise after 3-4 days this behavior will stop. she loves sleeping in your arms and she knows if she cries u will be there in a heartbeat. but this lifestyle isn't healthy for u or for her because u both will be losing sleep. letting your daughter cry it out is not cruel.

Answer 5

You really don't NEED to make her cry it out. IMO it's cruel to do that. She is just needing her mom. They are only little for so long. I rocked my 1st son till he was 13 months old, then he pushed off of me when I would try so I put him in his bed and he would just go to sleep. My 2nd son is almost 15 months old and I still rock him. When your baby is ready to fall asleep on her own, she will.

Answer 6

sounds as though she has you trained quite well, as long as she is healthy, dry (diapers), and not hungry, let her cry, she will wear down, and realize she is there for the night, it might take a time or two, or three, but it will work!
best of luck

She needs your warmth and comfort
