How can I get my 10 month old daughter to fall asleep in her own bed?

It’s like my daughter is scared of her crib. If I try to lay her in it she’ll cry until she makes herself sick. I’ve tried everything, letting her fall asleep with me then putting her in her own bed, rocking her, singing to her while she’s in her crib, trying to let her cry herself to sleep. I’ve just put her crib back into my room hoping this will help. What else can I do? Please send any advice, I’m dessperate!

How can I get my 4 1/2 month old son to fall asleep on his own every night in his bed. Any suggestions.?

I currently rock my 4 1/2 month old son to sleep every night.We have a strict routine of nursing bath story or quite play and then rocking him to sleep at 8:30. He’s usually asleep in 5 minutes. I’ve tried following these and laying him down in his bed but he screams. How can I make this easier on both of us? Do I just let him cry it out? How long will it take before he just goes to sleep with out crying? Please I’m open to any suggestions. Thank You

Anyone here experience auditory hallucinations when they’re overtired?

I have insomnia, I can’t sleep before work, then I went in and did a 14 hour day on no sleep. When I finally got home and laid down, I hear things like the shower running, the answering machine going off, or it sounds like people mumbling, it’s really strange. I actually get up and check to see. No, I’m not a nut, it’s just when I’m seriously sleep deprived, lol.

Is it appropriate to allow a 9 year old boy to continue to have sleep overs with 11 and 12 year old girls?

My friends son is 9 and has 2 friends, girls that are older than he is, 11 and 12. His mother seems to think its ok to still have sleep overs with these girls. We all know that girls mature faster and its becoming obvious that one of the girls is “growing up” and is not as interested in the friendship and probably the sleepovers, as much as she was when they were younger. I think when she does come over, its because she doesnt want to hurt anyones feelings.I just believe that there comes a time when certain things we allow our children to do as young children, have to be “cut out” with age and maturity. I also keep asking her how long does she think the parents of these girls, whether their her friends or not, are goin to continue to allow their daughters to “spend the night” with her son because he’s bored. Oh and they do sleep in the same bed. I say its ok to be friends, but the sleep over thing…well youre getting really close to playing with fire and maybe getting burned.

What is the best way to get my children (ages 20 months and 35 months) to sleep on their own.?

Right now we (one of us) lay down in their room until they fall asleep.
