My son is afraid of his crib
Posted: 04-24-08 20:00pm

My sons is 13 months and hes been sleeping with us at night for the past few months due to unexpected circumstances. But now were trying to get him sleeping in his crib. The first night we tried he screamed. And after a few hours brought him in with me.
The second night I couldnt even get in his room and he was already screaming. So ive moved the crib into my room and hoping to start off in here and then move his crib back into his room. But everytime he even looks at the crib he screams. He wont fall asleep in the crib, he falls asleep in my arms as soon as i lay him down in there he screams. Ive tried letting him cry for a little bit but he gets himself so worked up he starts chocking and starts having a hard time breathing.
If anyone has any advice it would really help.
He has a mobile, and a turtle that plays soothing music and lights.

i put my son in a toddler bed at 14 months and he was fine with it.. you just got to make sure if he gets out of his bed he wont be able to get into things he's not allowed to. so like put a gate on the door of his room
