Hi mommytojack

I did keep my children in my bed for their first month. After that, they went to the crib, then youth bed, etc. My pediatrician always reminded me children need to learn to self-soothe at a young age so they can grow with the habit and routine. As hard as it was, I did "ignore" the cry (standing outside the room quiet as a mouse). It can be difficult to do all at once, so perhaps not going in as soon each night. First night, wait 10 minutes, 2nd night 20 minutes...

Only one gals' opinion!

Good luck,
Dee
