Hello everyone.. I'm new to this forum and have joined as I am at my wit's end with my beautiful baby girl. We have been giving her lots of cuddles and comfort since she was little as one she was a colicky baby and 2 we didn't know any different as we'v always seen our aunties and uncles rocking their babies to sleep. Now we are really struggling. Sania used to sleep in her crib then teething started and she would wake up umpteen times and I just couldn't cope so brought her into our bed- biggest mistake. Now she sleeps between us but as she has started crawling I'm terrified she might fall off the bed or wander too far over the edge not to mention my hubby and I really could do with some 'just us' time. As much as I love her sleeping with us I think it's time she moves to her cot, but I just don't know how to. I tried feeding her in her cot the other day and put her to sleep in it but she only lasted 15 mins and she woke up screaming her head off till I had to put her back into our bed. I have to hold her while she Sucks her two fingers to sleep and then lay her down and still pay her bum till she's in deep sleep.
I need to stop doing this too. Please help.. Any advice how I can stop the rocking and put her in her cot. I don't think I have the heart to let her cry it out. Is there any other way?
