I think even with the sheet she will know you're in there. Our pediatrician told us there was basically no hope of CIO working if the baby is in the same room as the parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-having-baby-in-our-bedroom-and-cry-it-out#post-2291556 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 13:16:44 +0000 pmrlady 2291556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: @BabyTsMom: @ShootingStar: thanks, the crib won't fit into the closet but I will try to block her off somehow with curtains or sheets </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-having-baby-in-our-bedroom-and-cry-it-out#post-2291534 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 12:57:54 +0000 MrsSRS 2291534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A foldable screen works too. I agree that room sharing and CIO will work if you block her view. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-having-baby-in-our-bedroom-and-cry-it-out#post-2291530 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 12:54:54 +0000 ShootingStar 2291530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you can't put her in her own space, you should definitely block her view. You'll be really happy if you sleep train now, because doing it at 18m will be SOOOOO much harder. They are so much more aware at that age, and so much more stubborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-having-baby-in-our-bedroom-and-cry-it-out#post-2291523 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 12:50:23 +0000 blackbird 2291523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely try to get some "out of sight, out of mind" action going on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-having-baby-in-our-bedroom-and-cry-it-out#post-2291472 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 12:20:44 +0000 BabyTsMom 2291472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was gonna suggest the same this as @gingerbebe. We do this setup when we travel and have to share a room. I just use a bed sheet and it has worked well. I'd use white noise so that she also can't hear you moving around as much while you're in the room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-having-baby-in-our-bedroom-and-cry-it-out#post-2291447 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 12:10:09 +0000 gingerbebe 2291447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you create a blocked off area for the baby? For instance, you can buy really long blackout curtains and nail them to the ceiling to create a room partition so she can't see you. Or put her in a closet? Our PNP fits into our closet so DS napped in there when we were moving into our new house. </p> <p>We were roomsharing with our son and just slept in a different room when we sleep trained. Can you guys just put her to sleep in your master and just hunker down in the living room with an air mattress or something until she figures it out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-having-baby-in-our-bedroom-and-cry-it-out#post-2291438 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 12:06:07 +0000 snowjewelz 2291438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just so you know, there is a pretty bad regresstion between 8-10 months! My 9 mo old had it pretty bad recently. So you might need to just ride it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-having-baby-in-our-bedroom-and-cry-it-out#post-2291426 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 12:00:35 +0000 erinbaderin 2291426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We recently had to re-sleep train our 18 month old and while he doesn't sleep in our room, the method we used had somebody sleep in the room with him for the first 3 nights. My husband slept on the floor, so he could be seen, and he just shushed him back to sleep every time he woke up. After the first night he seemed to realize that he wasn't going to get picked up or anything so he just cried for a few minutes, and by the third night he was pretty much sleeping through. I know that it sucks but you might have to sacrifice a few night's sleep (maybe take turns sleeping somewhere else so you aren't both up all the time?) and just say "shhh, go to sleep" from your bed until she realizes that you're not going to pick her up.</p> <p>As long as she knows how to get back down from standing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-having-baby-in-our-bedroom-and-cry-it-out#post-2291418 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 11:55:51 +0000 pmrlady 2291418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello everyone,</p> <p>I'm looking for some advice on what i should do. Due to our circumstances, our 8 month old's crib is in our bedroom. She used to be a great sleeper which has recently changed unfortunately. She has no problems sleeping in her crib initially, but she has been waking up frequently in the middle of the night.<br /> At first I just let her cry it out and in a few minutes she would fall asleep again. But ever since she learned how to pull herself up to stand, she has been standing up in her crib and sees us in our bed and just keeps crying. I've been trying to lay her back down and patting her back which works but then 30 min later she starts crying and getting up again. This keeps repeating over and over. </p> <p>A few times I took her into our bed and of course she slept great until morning. DH is not too happy about this because he thinks she'll develop a bad habit of needing to sleep in our bed but at the same time, I doubt want to keep hearing her cry and not getting any sleep myself. I guess cry it out is more difficult in our situation because she's in the same room as us and now sees us when she stands up in her crib. </p> <p>Anyone else sleep in the same room as LO and had similar issues? Should i just take her into our bed so i can get a good night's sleep or am I creating a bad habit that will be more difficult to break later. Btw we will be moving when she's 18 months so she'll have her own room then....</p> <p>TIA </p>
