drama sleep
mandyGuest ·
Hi everyone,
My 4.5-month-old daughter sleeps really well at night, nothing to complain about. But during the day, it's a real drama in her own crib—she starts screaming as soon as she's put in there. When she does sleep, it's max 30 minutes. She prefers sleeping against me, and then she sleeps well. The moment I lay her down, her eyes open immediately.
We had this issue at night too in the beginning, and I just gave in, and suddenly she started sleeping in her crib on her own. What do you think? Should I give in again or stick to her own crib?
All tips are welcome!!
Looking forward to your replies. Thanks in advance.
Greetings, Mandy

I'll just keep at it and put her in her own crib. I think they have a good idea of how small they are, don't they?
hahaha
And if you keep at it, she'll fall asleep on her own eventually!! -

Thanks!
She’s in there now after quite a bit of screaming.
I was in the room and it was already much better!
And I think she really gets it, yeah haha!! So I’ll keep going anyway :-P -

Totally, just keep at it.
On the other hand, Lucas hardly sees his crib during the day; either we're out and he's sleeping in the stroller, or he's in the playpen.
I don't make a big deal out of it; I'm already so happy that he's been sleeping through the night since he was 3 months old.
He also doesn't have set nap times during the day. If I see he's tired, he's just allowed to go to sleep. -

I get so tired of this here. Those kids have to do so much at such a young age. Let them enjoy being with mom a bit more, you know? The bigger the change, the more it is for such a little one. First with mom and then suddenly in a bed. I never made a point of it either. A small child of that age doesn't know anything about experimenting. They just miss the warmth of their mother. They are still too small to be spoiled, so give your child plenty of attention and let them stay with you. Later they'll have to do enough things anyway. Greetings, Kristel.
