Getting my baby to settle in her crib

[zowie2]

Hi was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how I can get my 3 month daughter to sleep in her crib? So far my daughter Has shared my bed since birth but I would like to get her in her crib.Has anyone any advice that would help to do this it would be a big help thank you:-)

Can't link at the moment sorry but have a look at askdrsears 31 ways to get your baby to sleep. Have you tried swaddling too?

Hi I've tried swaddling she didn't like it.Some people say it's best to leave her to cry her self to sleep but I'm worried she's abit young to do that.Would like to find a gentle way to do this if possible :-$

Controlled crying isn't recommended for such young babies. She would only learn that when she cries, nobody comes and thats not a lesson I ever wanted to teach mine.

Here's the link I mentioned.

Thought you might also like this book .

Not sure if this will help but have you tried putting a piece of your clothing in their so she can still smell you? We did this when we first came home as she wouldn't settle. We put DH's t-shirt at the top end, didn't put mine in as it'd smell of milk! It worked and we haven't looked back since.

Had just come back on to suggest the same thing, we used one of DHs worn tshirts as the mattress cover .

Sorry, there not their

Thank you for recommending that book ill have a read.I'll try the clothing idear With my smell on it as well see if that helps thank you:-)

Did it help? Hope it did.
