Toddler and newborn in same room?
Okay so I'm not exactly there yet. But my daughter has never been a good sleeper, ever since she was born. She's 6 months. I have tried every crib training method under the sun and it never lasts. She sleeps in her crib but she either fights me going down, or she wakes up constantly throughout the night for comfort. Not ever single night but it always happens eventually. So I can imagine when she's a toddler and I have my second child she'll still he wanting to wake up, be in my bed or something. I hope not because I'm trying so hard to get her comfortable enough in her crib to where she can go to sleep on her own and put herself back to sleep when she wakes up. Feels like it'll never happen though. I just recently started the cry it out ferber method and it works to get her to fall asleep on her own but when she wakes up at night she cries for me and I comfort her and have to transfer her back in her crib over and over. Anyways, has anyone struggled with having a toddler 2+ not wanting to sleep in their own room while you're room sharing with a newborn?
Edit : when I say I tried every crib training method I meant I tried stuff like a heating pad on the mattress before setting her down, rubbing my t-shirt on the mattress, leaving my t-shirt at one point, etc. Eventually I did pick up put down and that is what made her stay in her crib in the long run. I was not doing ferber method until a few days ago as she is now 6 months. Because I figured the ferber method would help with the crib training. Evidently, I figured if she is not used to sleeping on her own I assumed I would be in trouble down the line if she never gets the hang of it
