It's not so bad, I guess. Actually, he slept in his crib all night last night for the first time in a while. Our fingers are crossed that he keeps it up. Thanks Becky! It’s not so bad, I guess.

When I went to bed I actually missed having him in there with us. He decided around 3:00 that he wanted to come in bed with us. Actually he insisted! =) Last night he fell asleep in our bed and I moved him to his crib and he made it through most of the night. When I went to bed I actually missed having him in there with us.

He can't fall back asleep in his crib because he's used to falling asleep in your bed. Of course I got this all the time with my kids. Even if it is true, I valued the time I had with the kid/baby with me in my bed more than actually getting the problem resolved. Now that they are older, however, and they have been getting up 5 times per night, hubby and I are trying 2 weeks of not watching tv or anything in our room with us...our room is mommy and daddy's room. But then again, they are 4 1/2 and 2 1/2, and when they were babies, I did the same thing as you! The most common and book answer?

I had a feeling that we'd have to do something like that. I know it'll be hard, because he's upset, and gets more upset the longer it takes for someone to come get him. Who's going to console me while he's learning to console himself? =) Hey Nick,

If you want him back in his crib you will have to endure him screaming and crying for you to respond over the course of a few nights until he re-trains himself that he can not expect you to respond at this time of night. It works, but is difficult to accomplish. You must remain consistent, no exceptions....until this phase is over. This form of sleep training is more properly thought of as teaching him to self-console. Self-consoling is a very important skill to learn, and now is the time he is asking for the chance to learn it. Yes it’s a phase, but like all phases you can either discourage it or make it worse.
