Question: I need help with baby sleep problems!?!?I am 7mon. pregnant and I have a 11mon. old. Its hard enough to get to sleep and stay to sleep but i can't keep him out of my bed. We put him to sleep everynight but as soon as he hits his bed he is right awake again. I try to put him in his bed several times a night but after 15 or 20 times and hours of fighting this i'm so exhausted i just can't stand it and i let him stay in bed with us just so i can get some sleep. No matter what time he goes to bed he is ready to play at 5:30am everyday.He still is not sleeping througfh the night even in our bed. i have tried letting him cry it out but that really makes me sad and he could go for hours. Also he will not sleep in his crib for naps... If he even taks one!!! IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE HELP!!!!! I can for see a bigger problem soon with the new baby coming.~HELP PLEASE~
Answer: Well, I know it's extremely hard and seems very cruel...but you should really let him cry. If you know that all of his needs have been met, and it's time for him to go to bed then he will learn eventually to fall asleep in his crib. Trust me, it doesn't take a long time for this to happen. He has learned that he gets his way if he is crying. You are right that this needs to stop now before the new baby comes. I don't know if you put music on for him, but this helped both of my boys fall asleep. You might want to try that.
