Hi everyone,
Andrea - I agree moving her to the big bed could backfire and make things even worse. It looks like we will probably start trying to transition her to it in February sometime though because we will be going on vacation to Florida in April, and she will have to sleep in a big bed during that time. She's too big for a pack-n-play now.
Congratulations on your pregnancy Mel!!! I am not far behind you! Are you due Sept or Aug?
Are you sure it is too late to retrain her that AP is OK, and that she can go to sleep both ways?
Thanks and congrats to you too Rina! I'm due Aug 27th. What about you?
About retraining her to sleep with us, I guess we could try working on that. Or it might just be better to transition her to her big bed as planned in a few weeks.
Melanie, I agree with Andrea and Rina. Let Cary nap with you for a start and see how things go. Or, is it possible to push her cot into your bedroom and let her sleep there?
I don't think her crib would fit in our room - it's pretty cramped as it is. This week, I think I'm just going to try to survive because dh won't be able to help much with Carys since he will be working a lot. Last night, Carys actually slept from 8pm to 6am with no wakeups, so I hope we are turning a corner. However, she was a terrible grump all day. She didn't have a fever though, so I think it must be her teeth bothering her again.
