It's like she thinks we'll vanish into thin air if she sleeps for more than 2hours in a bed that's not ours. But, in our bed she sleeps so soundly....poor baby, just doesn't understand "mommy and daddy permanence" yet:(....I guess it's gonna take time, but its do hard.Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02426791394343032657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107383772904875757.post-53176030390171906372012-02-03T17:46:30.523-05:002012-02-03T17:46:30.523-05:00We just got back from China today.

The first 4 nights home from China were the worse we had. We first tried her in her crib with me sleeping on the floor next to her and she cried out every 20 minutes or so all night long. After 4 nights of this when we hit rock bottom (even the dog and cat too, ha), we decided to move her in to a pack-and-play next to our bed. We used a humidifier or fan for white noise. I stayed in the room when she went to bed for the first few weeks (I read or used the laptop for entertainment). After a few weeks of this I could sneak out of the room once she fell asleep. A few months later we had her start napping in her crib in her room and she did ok. Once she did this for several weeks we switched her to sleeping in her crib at night too and she did much better. She slept better for naps too. She would wake up once or twice a night but that eventually got a lot better. She had a lot of teething going on too which didn't help the first few months home either. We probably could have moved her to her room faster but once we were all finally getting some sleep we were scared to try it out! Each situation is different but this is what helped us in case it helps. So glad you have some time off from work to adjust. Things definitely get better as each month goes by! <br /><br />Lori JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
