Default How to stop the night wakings?

I'm trying to figure out how I can still have
her in that room, with DH, and sleep.


I'm 95% sure that if when she wakes up he lays there and lets her cry with
only a hand on her back she will start sleeping through (for the most part)
while co-sleeping. I think you could even be in there too. Do not get up
with her, do not feed her, do not do more then say "Time to sleep" and lay
your hand on her. It is CIO except you are right next to her so
considerably gentler. It would also work to plunk her in the crib and do
the same thing but the crying would likely be more intense and take more
days.

I never had luck with laying next to but separate from with my hand on them
(i.e. crib next to bed) but it would be worth a shot.
