Need Help..plez...xx?

my son did this at 6 months old as well. If you want her to sleep in her cot then you have to stop bringing her in bed with you. It is going to be very tiring for you but don't give up (if you bring her back into your bed she will think that if she cries enough she gets to sleep in your bed). I actually slept on the floor in my son's room for close to a week as he was getting up and crying nearly every hour (it was the only way i could get any kind of sleep). Persistence will pay off for you, just hang in there. Also, try putting her to bed earlier (between 7 & 8:30 is a good bedtime for her age). She also needs to learn how to fall asleep by herself. During her day naps put her in her cot while she is tired but awake. If she cries, go in and pat her on the bum until she settles and then leave. Don't pat her to sleep or she will need you to pat her back to sleep every time she wakes up. Good luck.
