Hi Nichole:

Our daughter was 15 months old when we brought her home in June 05. originally she slept by herself in the crib but would awaken alot so we moved the crib to our room.

After I started back to work (Sept 1st-after 3 months of being off work), she started to wake several times during the night. Initially she would just fall back to sleep after awakening, than she would cry for longer periods of time. We could not console her and get her to fall back asleep. After for crying for 1/2 hour or longer with multiple episodes we were getting exhausted. Finally we started putting her in the bed with us. She would fall right back to sleep.

She has no difficulty going to sleep in the lazy boy while taking a bottle and than being placed in her crib. The crib is immediately next to the bed with the rail at half down position.

Some nights she awakens at about 12:00 or 1:00 and crawls into bed and falls back asleep. Some night she is in her crib until about 6:00am.
We let her decide if and when she wants to come to bed. This seems to be working well for now.
