[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 282042, member: 1233"] I think having the kids in bed with the parents is fine, esp as the child gets to be more mobile. The downside is that you can wake up with a stiff neck or back if the child lays on top of you. Or you could share with Jessie and spend half the time explaining the bruises she bestowed upon you as she thrashed in the bed (and this was before age 2!). She was not having nightmares, just having very active dreams. I have been through the routines that PJ described. We had very little luck with them. If anything, she would wait until we were asleep and then come crawl in with us. Jess was the MASTER at getting parents busy so she could go and do what she wanted with-o being disturbed, LOL! If nothing else, maybe having one of those bears that has the womb sounds would help? Each of my kids had them. At one point they even were all using them 0 and Wiz is 8 years older than thank you. But it is a relaxing sound and it seems to be very soothing - even if not used for several months. The bear would put husband and I to sleep - we loved it. We also had good luck with classical music playing in the kid's room and with having books on tape playing - kids' books, of course. My dad has this deep voice that is very soothing when he reads. Kind of reminds me of the dad on Happy Days, if anyone remembers "Mr. C". My dad found an old Uncle Wiggly storybook. He read it onto tape and it was an instant hit. Matter of fact I still find the younger 2 kids listening to it some nights. The stories were old fashioned, not exciting the way some stories can get, they were just gentle stories that my kids dropped off to sleep anytime they were played. For us the Uncle Wiggly tapes also helped Wiz bridge the gap from living 1/2 mile from my parents to living 800 miles away from them. I really hope that this gets better soon. I remember bawling my eyes out at MY old pediatrician when Jessie just wouldn't sleep or quit crying. So I totally feel for her. [/QUOTE]
