STANDING IN CRIB INSTEAD OF NAPPING!

Ok so in the past week my woonderful 7 month old daughter figured out how to pull herself up to stand in the crib. However, she cannot figure out how to get back down. Its the worst at her naps because she will not just lay their. She crawls to the sides and pulls herself up. Then she cries and cries. Since i am a cry it out mom i usuallly wait a little bit. But I find myself going up to their room 3 times in a half an hour to put her back down and sometimes she misses her nap completely because i dont want my son to wake up who is sound asleep in the crib next to hers. Anyway, im not sure if this is just a phase or if their some way to help stop it?? i lowered her crib to the lowest it can go but it didn't help. Please let me know if you have any neat tips or if i basically just have to ride this one out. Thanks!!

 

You may have to ride this one out unfortunately - she will have to learn how to get back down on her own. Thankfully when mine started doing this they learned how to get back down quite quickly and we only went through a short phase where they cried until I helped them down. Sorry and hope this stage passes quickly!!

 

Yep.. just like rolling over, sitting up... they just have to learn how to undo it themselves! Hopefully it doesn't last too long. Anything that interupts naps is no fun at all!

 

Yeah unfortunately this is a phase...Should be relatively short, at least it was over here. I remember Annabella doing this(the boys never did). I would go up to her room and put her back down. Then I would gently pat her back or rub it until her eyes were closed, and then I would leave once she was asleep. It worked relatively well. And I would say within a few days she was over it.
