have you tried putting her in her own room? My son slept in my room with me up until about 9 months and I had so much trouble getting him to sleep in his cot in his own room. Eventually I just had to put him to bed and leave him to cry, he eventually got used to it. It was horrid at the time but it was soooo worth it! xxx _________________

Have you tried the crying approach? Basically put her in her cot at night after her bedtime routine and if she cries let her for 15 minutes. After that time go back in and give her a cuddle in her room (keep it dark) and after 5/10 minutes try it again. Carry on until she falls asleep. Each night gets easier and she will fall asleep on her own in her cot. Its not nice listening to them cry but it does get easier after a while. _________________

my daughter sleeps in our bed because all four of us in one room, no space to put another cot in here, i am trying to get her to sleep in cot during the day, to get her used to it, she will fall asleep on me, but when i put her in it she screams the place down, _________________
