How do I get my wife out of the baby's bed?

i have the same problem with my daughter. I do not like sleeping with her and i miss my husband ver much i just can't let her cry it out bc i feel like a horrible mom.

My husband took my place the other night and snicked out just after she fell asleep without waking her. she woke up at 3am screaming but those 5hrs were so nice now im trying it but it's hard not waking her up.

hope this helped!

You may have tried this but I would start by moving his bed toddler bed into your room. He will still feel secure and so will she. Each week move the bed a little further until you reach his room again.

If that doesn't help I suggest buying a body pillow. Maybe mom can put him to sleep and sneak out and replace herself with the large pillow.

If that doesn't work ask his pediatrician. I'm sure he will have a good suggestion. Good luck!

well she has to want it to or it will not work

and first off this is hard for a lot of parents but here is something you can do slowly wing her out of there like set limits like be ill lay with you for ten minutes and than ill sit at the end of the bed or read him a story than walk out if he gets out of bed dont say anything just put him back in bed explain that he needs to sleep in his big boy bed by himself just keep at it be consitant dont lose your temper and he will eventually be sleeping by himself

If she slowly stops sleeping in his bed then eventually he'll be ok, and it will just be a short cuddle with mommy then sleeptime.

I have to completely agree with Luna13's method actually, i know lots of people who have done this and even my mother done it with me when i was a baby and it worked even then!

It may be hard and seem cruel but honestly, it will work and will be a great learning curve for your whole family.

Let her know that her marriage is at risk by not thinking about the emotional needs of two married people. It is overall best for him to learn to sleep on his own, so offer to help, offer to be there for her when she stops and let her know that it is hurting you emotionally that you can not hold her at night.

It is going to be a rough few nights because he will cry, he may not fall asleep, he may shout for his mommy over and over again and it has to be ignored. You have to keep putting him back to bed, even holding the door shut. It is a tough transition, but it has to be done for your sake and for your son.

lol. that's like trying to get a donkey to go when you want it to. honestly i would sit down and talk to her and tell her that you are feeling left out. and tell her that if the child gets really upset then you would be okay with her going in there. i bring my daughter to my bed and will sit in her room until she falls asleep on occassion but only when it's a really rough night

Boy this one is NOT fun. About 6 months ago we went through the same thing with our 3 year-old son. Only in our case he wouldn't sleep unless he was in OUR bed. I personally don't understand why parents let their kids sleep with them, but to-each-is-own. My husband and I finally bit the bullet and took action. It was the hardest thing in the world to do, but we are so thankful we did it! Our son sleeps all night in his own bed now. Here's what we did:

We both took 3 days off work (we knew there would be sleepless nights) and had a bunch of beach towels ready. We put him to bed, read him a book, dimmed the light, kissed him goodnight, and walked out. Almost immediately he was up out of bed saying "I want to sleep with you." We told him no - he's a big boy now and has his own bed. We put him back in bed, and the crying/screaming began. Every time he got out of bed, one of us put him back without saying a word and with no expression on our face. We were crying/screaming inside believe me, but we got in "robot mode" as I call it, and continued. This went on for about an hour before he was so upset he started throwing up. Again, with no expression, we changed his clothes, put a towel down, put him back in bed and walked away. He was stunned. He got sick 2 more times and we did the exact same thing. Eventually he fell asleep. The first night it took 5 hours (not kidding). The second night same thing- 5 hours, vomit, everything. Third night, no vomit and only 2 hours. That was it. Fourth night - he cried for about 1/2 hour and fell asleep. He's been sleeping in his bed every night since.

It's so easy to give in, especially when you're sleep deprived, but you have to stay strong. It's for the best - for you, your wife, and your toddler. I realize every child is different, but I wish you the best of luck. Hugs and God Bless.

Get him a stuffed animal. Tell him if he doesn't sleep on his own from now on, he can never have his favorite sweets or watch his favorite show again.

shes a new mom, its gonna be hard at first.

she just needs her space.

nothing could get in the way of a mother & her child.

use a baby monitor and tell her that anytime he starts crying at night, she should go check on him not sleep with him.
