I think it is about time for my 1 year old to start sleeping in her own crib. These past two nights (since she's been sick) she has been waking up and messing with me. Putting her fingers in my nose, pulling my hair when I put my face in the pillow. It is NOT fun, and it's super irritating, because it's at some ungodly hour. I love sleeping with her, even though at every doctor appointment, her pediatrician chastises me about it, saying she really needs to be sleeping in her own crib.

I know she should. But with her dad working nights, and me exhausted by the end of the day, I don't have the patience or willpower to do it. She sleeps GOOD, most of the time. Not only that, I don't have to worry about her at night. Plus, then I'm not sleeping alone. Her doctor keeps saying, "You don't want her sleeping in your bed til she's three!" when honestly, I don't think I'd mind (unless she keeps up this hair pulling and nose picking business while I'm asleep). Not only do I love sharing the bed with her, her dad loves sharing the bed with her. There is nothing more comforting/comfortable than knowing she is safe right between us.

I don't know. I know it's time. I just don't want it to be. And I don't think I can do it on my own...

feel bad about it trust me, my son pulls my hair, kicks my ribs, punches his dad, etc. He eventually falls asleep and we have a good night. :] good luck!

My husband and I had the same problem with our son for the past couple of months! We finally came to the conclusion that it is absolutely ok with us for him to sleep in our bed. He does fine on some nights to sleep in his crib. We have tried everything. From the night light, to comfy sheets, even music. Have you tried white noise? My son has actually fallen asleep to and airplane sound. I have the app on our ipod. But honestly if she is sleeping ok with you then that is ok. Do NOT
