So we succsussfully got our 11 month DD to sleep in her crib for naps (2x) and at night after co-sleeping for 6 months! We started with PD and I would stay by her crib and not make very much contact and she would fall asleep pretty fast. Wake after 30 min…cry and scream so I would go in and do same thing and once again fall asleep. She usually naps for 45 min… At night now she keeps walking through out the night. We have 2 problems.
1.) When I put her in crib for naps even after a long A time (3.5-4.5 hours) she sits in there and plays and walks around in crib and if I leave freaks out and never calms down….I end up having to stay in room the entire time she naps or she wakes and sees I'm not there and has a fit. Sometimes she never even falls asleep after being in there for an hour so I say screw it and skip early nap.
2.) At night she falls straight to sleep (no playing or anything) but wakes about 30 min after going down, and then a couple times through out the night.
I am having a very hard time making a schedule…we have a routine (follow the same thing every day) but she wakes between (6am - 7:30) so then naps are then always at different times.. Bath time is always at 6:45 with going down for bed straight after.
Any advice..
? Is it time to switch from 2 -1?
