6 month old wont sleep in crib anymore... HELP!!

Posted by missy on January 17, 2003 at 14:09:29:

I need help. My baby was doing wonderfully sleeping 6-7 hours a night in her crib, rarely waking until morning. My milk supply starting dwindling because of antihistamines a block headed Dr put me on, I was told it would help my supply to keep baby near me at night and nurse as often as she wanted. Supply is getting better but now baby wont sleep in her bed at all!!! If she is deeply asleep I can start her in her crib but within an hour she wakes screaming horribly. I tried ONE time to let her cry to sleep but in 4 minutes she was so upset she was sideways and gagging for air, kickng and screaming. I cannot sleep well with baby, and Dad sleeps fitfully now too and even baby wakes constantly to feed, but in our bed she drifts back off quietly. I am not going to let her cry it out, I cannot stand to see her so upset because she wants to be near us... but I would love to get her back into her crib if possible. P.S. She did have a double ear infection and a cold when she began waking all night long but both have passed and she still wakes constantly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
