My 11 month old will not sleep in his crib help??

my Dr. told me do the 3 day/night rule. He's use to sleeping with mommy and daddy so it might take longer then 3 nights maybe 3 to 5 the first couple will be the hardest, he's gonna scream, cry etc

As long as he is fed, changed and theres no serious problems let him cry and do it each night the Dr. told me by night 3 for you maybe 4 or 5 but by night 3 he should break the habit and finally fall fast to sleep and do it from then on but don't let him sleep in your bed and try your hardest not to break those 3 to 5 nights of putting him in his crib. He'll be fine he's testing Mommy and Daddy LOL Good Luck! :)

I think entering the room at less frequent intervals can help, reinforce you're not abandoning him, but establishing that you aren't going to be there all the time now. (ex enter after a few minutes of crying, walk up to crib and hold hand, reassure and then leave. Next time wait five minutes. Next Time 10. eventually don't walk up to the crib, just enter room observe he's not in physical danger and leave) As sad and heart wrenching as it is I think some form of crying it out is the fastest/most used way to do this. Staying strong is key! And you didn't mention, but just in case, make sure you're not picking him up when you check on him. That gives too much false hope you're going to take him with you, and likely will only cause both of you more stress. I don't think this answer is super helpful, but I guess my point is stay strong, after a few long nights it will be over. If you give up it will make it even harder a few months down the road.

Well is the crib in your room? If its not it's up to you to move it in. I had the same problem w/ my daughter, she would have some good nights and some bad nights and we had a nursery room so we would put her in the crib and she would cry and say no i want to sleep with you, i would tell her to calm down, read her a book then say goodnight give her a kiss and a sippee-cup then leave she would then start crying but i wouldn't go back, after5 minutes she owould eventually stop we kept on doing it over and over again and now she is fine. But if you tell them that maybe the next night they can sleep with you thats bad you cannot let them sleep with you until they're own bed and say they are having a bad dream, then you make sure you have blankets and pillows on the floor but letting the baby sleep in your bed now would make him/her have a habit even possibly up to 9 years old, so when the baby starts crying because you left don't go back because if you do you're going to have a guest in your bed every night and there is no reason to go back, you already read them a story and tucked them in (and probably checked their diaper) and you gave them a drink so they have everything they need.

Good Luck!

My advice (we're actually in the process of doing this): move the crib into your room, put it right next to your bed, bar down. When he falls asleep, shift him over into the crib. He may not sleep the whole night through, but it's a start. Eventually you'll be able to move the crib away from yours, and even back into his room!

Oh, and also - try to sleep on a crib sheet for a couple of nights, so it has your smell - I heard that helps too.

I think it's time for(drum roll please)a toddler bed.

He is used to the bed with you two, so maybe that's what he needs. For another month, let him sleep with you two in your bed, but once he turns a year old, get him a "big boy bed" or a toddler bed. The first few nights, he may be fussy, but that's a part of it. Just give it time and he'll adjust.

If he still can only sleep with you, tell him big boys sleep in beds by themselves or maybe even for a little while, keep the toddler bed in your room so he feels safe.

Good luck!

He won't sleep with you until he is 10.

I do think that 11 months old is an Ok age to institute the ferber method or CIO if you want to, but I'd just let him sleep in bed with me.

it will be a hard few nights, but you have to make him stay in it. Is there a way you can possibly fit the crib in your room? that way he can get used to being in there.

You are just going to have to take a couple of sleepless nights, and continue to put him back in his crib EVERY time he wakes up. Eventually, if you don't give in, he will sleep in it. He'll have to. He'll be exhausted.
