 Re: Transitioning to a bed from the crib | |
well the others gave you some great advise, personally though I don't do CIO. I think for my daughter personally that would be sooo much worse. If you can handle the screaming then by all means give it a shot. I don't think not letting them cry is going to make them go to therapy as adult. But when my dd cries, and yes she still wakes thorugh the night at 15 months, I go to her. Usually what happens is she cries I go to her, hold her for 5 min and then she goes back to sleep in her crib. And yes she is awake I don't rock her to sleep or anything. You may want to check out a book called No Cry Sleep Solutions. I can't remember off hand who wrote it but it will be easy to find, very popular book. They have great advise on how to get you child to sleep with out letting them cry it out. HTH and good luck |
