How can I get my 4 month old to start sleeping in her crib?

I started my baby in her crib since she was 1 mo old. She is my first so I got so nervous and slept on the floor in her room for 1 week straight. I recorded 1 hr long of song with my voice and turned it on. Besides that, I also got her the light thing, camera & her giraffe toy. She just held it & fell as sleep. I was more nervous than my baby because fear of SIDS & everything. Amazingly, now she HAS TO SLEEP IN HER RM

i know alot of parents are against what im about to say but i had the same problem. and my baby was 4 months old. i was the one that took everything out of the crib for safety reasons. that didnt work at all. i had to put a soft comforter( her own crib set) nothing too big of course, on the bottom. and her big disney pillow so she was propped up. now she sleeps like a rock all through the nite. she knew my bed was soft with comforters. so i had to make hers the same. and it worked.

I breastfed my son for the first 6 months so cosleeping was convenient for me. I tried the Ferber method and he would puke after so much crying. Once I couldn't do it anymore (he would move a lot at 10 months & I would always be cranky) I decided to put him to sleep in his crib one night by putting my bed right right next to the crib. When he would wake up in the middle of the night, I would just pat him so he knew I was right next to him. For his naps same thing. Eventually he got the point

Our son would not sleep in his crib from birth to just recently at 10 months old. We tried everything. Inclining mattress, vibrations, Baby Einstein musical tv, noise light that changes colors when he is heard, foot piano(we tried to make it fun because he acted like it was torture). We even went the extra step, lightly heat a bag of dry rice in a sock that smells like you. Just finally at 10 months he got it. A baby will do it when he is ready. Just if you cosleep = use a bedrail & no blankets.

I have a friend that has the same problem with her 3 mo old son. Her doctor said that the reason is the baby likes motion & to purchase a device that attaches to the crib/mattress that vibrates. We looked for them at babies r us but they didn't carry it. So I believe she was able to find one online. Also if you have a pack n play you could possibly have her sleep in that with the vibrating on to help her transition to her crib. That is how I transitioned my 5 mo old son. Best wishes.

The only thing i can think to do is when you put her down for a nap, put her in her crib, not anywhere else, she will slowly realize that the crib is the place for sleepy time, not her swing or bouncer... My friend had the same problem with her daughter, she refused to sleep in the bassinet, even though she was too big for the bouncer... I hope this helps, good luck.

what did with my son i waited until he was sleeping soundly and gently moved him into his crib,and i also tried sitting in the rocking chair gently rocking him until he went to sleep then put him in his crib. good luck.
