[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are still cosleeping at night and not willing to let her cry, then I would approach by making a soft next of blankets on the floor and sleeping with her there.  Start with her on top of you, then get her used to sleeping beside you, then you can transition to her staying asleep after you get up.  Maybe ask them to get a playpen that rests directly on the floor so that you can even leave the room to eat lunch, etc. and she will be safely contained?[/quote]. ---- Thank you for the tip. They did talk about sleep training in the interview, so hopefully I can ask them
If they would be willing to try yet? [/quote]

Sure you can bring it up but it's really a lot of work for them and for you so be prepared for them to push back. Nap training only is harder than night training too. At 9 months if she's never successfully slept by herself in the crib she'll have a hard time starting. Also 3-4 bottle w night is a lot for a 9 month old. Is she eating during the day? Solids? 
Ask them how she napped with her parents and what they'd like you to do. If they don't want to train then maybe a mattress on the floor in another room and you lie down with her and then you get a nap too :) [/quote] I will talk to them and see how they feel about trying it. I am open to any suggestions that might help. Yes, she eats solid food during the day and takes bottles! I think if she wakes up during the night a little bottle is the only way she goes back down for them? I'm not really sure.....I thought co sleeping is dangerous and I also feel 3-4 bottles at night for a 9 month old is crazy! She's going to be one soon ? It's not up to me
though, I will follow whatever they would like done. Can anyone give me tips for how to start sleep training? What's the first step we would need to take? New to both parties here....[/quote]
