Hi -
Our 17-month old has slept with my husband and I since day 1 - which is something I never really anticipated. Although it certainly was convenient when she was nursing during the night, she's not anymore so I'd like to re-gain my sleeping space as well as my "snuggle" time with my husband. She has only on rare occassions slept in her crib so I'm wondering how to get her used to it again. She will play in her crib for short periods of time if I'm in the room with her, but otherwise she gets very upset when she's left in there. I suppose one option is to just put her into a twin bed (I don't plan to use a toddler bed) and not even try to get her used to the crib again and hope we have a 2nd one so we can get our money's worth out of the crib! :P
Any other suggestions?
