So I put Bella to sleep in her crib last night. She has been taking naps in there for the last couple of weeks and is doing ok, so I thought she should do ok at night also. Well not really. She woke up after about 15 minutes. I decide to let her cry for a few minutes, apparently that's what you're supposed to do. So after about 5 minutes I go in and this is what she looks like. So sad! She sounded ever sadder than she looked too. I can't do this to her! This little girl rules the roost that's for sure. So she spent the night in her bassinet in Mommy and Daddy's room. Any advice/suggestions on how to get her to be ok sleeping in her crib? She's almost to big for her bassinet. I can't stand to see her cry like this. She is to precious!

oooooohh. That little face breaks my heart. Poor thing!
I wish I could make her sleep for you. Sometimes I had to let Jake cry for 20 minutes. It was SO hard. Sometimes I'd go outside so I couldn't hear him cry, cause if I listened to it I would give in and go get him!
Just keep trying- maybe make her cry a few minutes longer each night, and eventually she'll be comfortable enough to know that she's safe and that you're still there.
Good luck. It's hard- but it's nice to have your own bed/room back to just the two of you!
That is a sad face! I wouldn't be able to put her in her crib after that either! She'll adjust!
