bed time
Well, yes, I have to agree that is so much healthier for so many reasons for her to be in her own room in her own bed. Easier for her than for you, I'm sure. You want to teach her independence. This is the first step. Sweet dreams to both of you. God Bless. xoxo
Yes - I know. Before I had her I always said I would NEVER sleep with my baby in my bed. And I did wait until she was able to roll over first. When she slept in the bed I took off my comforter and all the pillows. I don't know why I ever got in this habit. I just did not think it was fair to her to be all alone - but in reality - I think I really did not want to be away from her. It is just a whole new experience when you are actually the parent. She has done an amazing job in her crib! Such a big girl! She has slept almos the whole night both nights and is snoozing away now. She always took naps in her crib, so she is very used to it. And she always plays in her room - so she is comfortable in there. She just needed the chance to have her "environments" in her own space. I'm so proud! But it's still not easy -- for me!
I know. I remember. When they're in the bed with you, though, or even in the room, a mother hears every little sigh, and your own rest is disrupted, too. You'll be ok, Mom. You're the teacher now, predominantly, but she has already and will continue to teach you bundles and bundles of great lessons. 
Oh Yes! Thanks for your advice and support. She is my first and it helps to have an experienced mom out there to converse with!
Any time. Mine are grown now, but I have many, many infant memories. I LOVE babies! Coincidentally, I'll be on my way out the door shortly to welcome in the next generation. My nephew's first baby may be in the birthing process at this very moment. I'm on my way to the hospital!
wow! I'd love to hear all about it!
