In the beginning I allowed our baby girl to sleep with us so I would actually get some sleep! Plus I was breastfeeding. Now that she is almost 3 months old I am trying to get her into the crib!! But it's been proving to be a challange!As soon as I lay her in, her eyes pop wide open and she smiles...which melts my heart...but what do I do? She only sleeps when I am laying next to her, in car or by fluke elsewhere when she is worn out...When my first daughter was a baby I would lay her in the crib awake and she would go on to sleep by herself...not so lucky this time! I want my bed back! And desperately need to clean the house..lol

sorry i cant really help but i can tell you i know how you feel. my son will be 3mths on sat and we just started the crib thing a week ago. I give him a bath every night at 9 which he loves and use the bedtime bath and then read him 1-2 books and nurse until hes asleep. i've found that the gentler I am at setting him in the crib the easier he wakes up so i make it short and sweet. I lay him on his side with a rolled blanket behind and sometimes one in front of him and hold my hands tightly on his shoulder and but for a few minutes for him to be sound again. I'm hoping this will pay off, but as of now it's a non stop fight from9-midnight and then he's up every 1-2 hours until we take dad to work at 6am and then I bring him back to bed with me. don't know if any of that will help but if not at least know you are not alone

I am just like you!!! My daughter is 10 months old and she still sleeps in bed with us. She has to be touching someone to go to sleep. i have tried laying her in her crib but she immediately wakes up and starts crying. I asked the doctor and he told me to put her in her crib when she was awake and let her cry herself to sleep...I CAN'T DO THAT...She will think I have abandoned her. She's is too young to know what is going on.

I am totally in the same boat with you on this one, only my added twist is my daughter wants me (and only me, not daddy) to hold her all the time. Please say she will outgrow this, she is only 2 mos!
