Hi Everyone!
I'm in serious need of some help. I have an 17 month old who from birth to now for the most part has co-slept with us or slept in her pack-n-play in our bedroom. I, being a new mom, had a hard time letting go...and now I'm paying for it. My husband and i tried having her cry it out a few times, but she would cry for a couple hours straight before we would give up. We've had a ton of big changes in the past couple of months which we think is contributing...a month ago we moved to a new home. At that point we slowly transitioned her to her own room. She had a few rough nights, but then we got her to where she was only waking once or twice. We would soothe her and put her back to bed. Then, we had our second child. And now ever since we were in the hospital things have gone down hill. She doesn't sleep through the night...in fact she screams in a high pitched shrill, as if she's scared, when we aren't there quick enough. We aren't able to lay her back down in her pack-n-play, without her waking and crying again. We tried the cry it out again, but again that lasted a couple hours before we gave up. Now we have both kids in our room....and the 17 month old is sleeping with us majority of the night. I'm desperately wanting her in her own room, but am obviously at a loss of what to do. My newborn is sleeping better than her! Please help!
