I need some feedback! My daughter is 7 1/2 months. For the most part, she is a great sleeper -- takes a bottle and rocks to sleep, sleeps through the night, goes to bed at a decent time, etc. However, i've recently been trying to put her to bed before she's asleep for 2 reasons - trying to establish a better routine, and once in a while she will be cranky, overtired, or not want a bottle, and therefore will not go to sleep. However, here is my dilemma -- i have been trying the "let her cry in her crib for a couple minutes, go in and soothe her, extend the intervals between going in, etc". The problem is that she gets so upset and cries so hard that she throws up her entire bottle every time!! She either cries hard and throws up on me when i try to rock her, or she throws up all over herself and her crib -- both of which, as you can imagine, are very disheartening when i'm tired and just want her to go to bed so i can do the same!! So now i am leary to leave her to cry because she barfs so easiliy. i don't think she's doing it purposefully/knowingly, she just gets that upset that she yaks. Does anyone have ANY suggestions or a similar situation? I love rocking her to sleep, it's our cuddle time, but I know once she is crawling and standing she is going to be more independent and may not enjoy the bottle/rocking routine anymore. She's been so good about going to bed/sleep so far that i've never really had to do anything else to get her to sleep, so i am at a loss! help!

HTH'S!
I would also go back to rocking to sleep until you've read these & tried them out.

I would not leave her to CIO (cry it out) but my parenting style is attachment parenting. I would check out the kellymom website if you are interested in finding out more about this type of parenting.

To answer your question it sounds as if u are corected she is getting so worked up she vomits. My little one who is almost 4 months old was doing this and the vomit even came out of her nose and she could not breathe. I cisleep with her between me and DH in a SnuggleNest so she is safe and we bought a BabySense device for her crib which goes under the mattress and will send a piercing alarm if the baby does not move for 30 seconds to help prevent issues like SIDS but could be used for your purpose. Honestly to me she may just need to be closer to u tofeel safe. My little one no longer vomits at night (and it wasn't that she needed to be burped either it was that she was terrified of her crib). I am putting her in crib for short naps but she sleeps much better in the room with us. You could also try a cosleeper which attached to the side of your bed or pulling the crib up to your side so you can pat her to sleep. Works quite well. Good lick and hope his helps.

Also a night time routine suh a bath, wind down time wih mommy or daddy with a book or some lullabies works wonders for us. Routine does not need to be super complicated yet as she is so young still.

Also my little one tries to stand all the time so we play with her before the bath to tire her out.
