Toddler won’t sleep in her crib!
Ever since she was a baby Whenever she would wake up in the middle of the night we would pick her up rock her put her back in the crib. Sometimes she would wake up sometimes she would stay, but eventually as she got older, we would just transfer her to our bed because we just wanted to sleep, but then after she fell asleep, we would put her back in the crib. Lately though she will not have it! Even in bed with us she wakes up at least twice in the middle of the night screaming her lungs out crying for no reason. We don’t know what to do or if this is normal.
Some people say I need to let her cry herself to sleep or else this will be a habit for years but I don’t have the heart to do that. I just want her to sleep through the night in her crib or at least stay in there when we put her back. Is this normal?? She’s 21 months old. Any advice would be really helpful thank you❤️

I know some people are against it but it might help to give her a bottle at night.
We switched to an actual bed for my little guy at 18months for his own room and get him to sleep with cuddles and sometimes nursing (even though I have a four month old now too) and then if he wakes up in the middle of the night he can come to our room. But he’s gone a few nights entirely in his room now! Hems 22months now.
Maybe this could help? We don’t kick him out of our bed and he can come whenever but he starts the night in his bed and his room.
