Sleep Problems in a Preschooler

My daughter is 3 1/2 and NEVER sleeps through the night. She was a great sleeper from 6 months until about 18 months, but starting at that point she began fighting us about bedtimes and then waking constantly throughout the night. When we put her to bed she screams and whines for hours, getting out of her bed and standing at her door asking us to come and cover her up again, read her another book, get her a drink, find her security blanket (lost in her bedcovers), etc. We almost always end up giving in to her screaming and whining after...

Advice Needed About Cribs - Non Convertible

Hi - My crib was recalled recently. It is taking a long time to get the voucher to get a new one and so my 6 month old is back in the co-sleeper. Do you have a crib you really like? In addition to it taking a long time, I am not sure I trust the same brand again - it's Jardine from babies r us. Any advice on a nonconverible crib?

Getting My Daughter to Sleep in Her Crib

I have a almost 4 month old daughter who has only slept in her swing since birth. I am trying to get her to sleep in her crib and it seems to be almost impossible. My husband and I take turns trying to calm her down and this seems to last for hours and finally my nerves are shot and she goes back in her swing, within minutes she is sleeping sound. What else can I do to get her to sleep in her crib at night?

Looking for New Ideas to Get My Toddler to Sleep on Her Bed.

When she an infant she did fine sleeping in her crib, but lately she only wants to sleep in my bed. I have tried putting her to sleep in her own bed, but she completely refuses and gets really upset, so I end up giving up because it hurts me to see her cry so much and I take her to my bed. I know that's not good, but I don't know what else to do. I have tried getting her things such as a blanket with her favorite character,but...

She says my daughter is supposed to cry herself back to sleep but if I let her do that she starts screaming uncontrollably like she's had a bad dream or something....
