8 Month Old Screams When put in Crib! Wants Moms Bed

Posted by Renee' on March 29, 2002 at 00:27:02:

My son Connor just turned 8 months old. It really is my fault that he does not want to sleep in his crib. My husband and i just love him so much that we want him to sleep with us. It became such a habit that now i have to wait untill he is asleep and then bring him into his bed. Most times he will wake 1 to 2 times a night screaming for his mommy and hyperventalating almost. He never gives up. he is very stubborn about it. I guess it is hard to sleep with him at night no matter how much i want to, because he moves around so much. I have a bad back and with him in the bed i can not move at all/.... Does anyone have a suggestion on how they broke the habit??? I have heard it is bad habit and babies need independance,,, and should learn to fall asleep on their own. Anyone agree??? He also has mild reflux and has begun to teeth,, I HAve my hands Full ,lol....
