Advice on getting my son to get use to waking up in his own room.

My son never had that problem, but my daughter did. We tried many things but the ones that worked the best - other than trying to be in the room when we figure it was more or less time for her to wake up - was keeping pictures of us close to her crib and have a small picture album with pictures of all of us right beside her so she would see it when she woke up. ALso we had this wonderful monitor that could work as a two way radio. It would work as a regular monitor where we could hear when she woke up, but we could also press a button and talk to her. We started by using it like that while she was still awake as a game, so she would get used to hear our voices without seeing us, and then when she was crying right after waking up we would talk to her until one of us could go upstairs to her room. That one worked really well.

Hi Joey's wife, its nice to say hi to you, we here at Mylot have heard about you (all good). What the little one is going thru is normal, it is still a new house to him. I would get a picture of the two of you, (the one Joey has as his avatar would be fine), put that in a frame, have it in his room so when he wakes up he sees the picture of the two of you. You can tell him that you are always watching over him. You can also have a special stuffed animal friend that he can sleep with to keep him company. He still is just a little guy and might need more time to be comfortable in his own room. Good luck and its nice to meet you.

My sister is trying to train her baby to sleep in his room as well. I think your problem is that you wait until he falls asleep before you put him in his own bed. You have to try and get him into his bed before he falls asleep so that he gets used to it. Otherwise, he thinks the downstairs is his bedroom and gets confused when he wakes up. It will be a slow transition, but if you take him to his bed when he's about to fall asleep and stay with him until he does, he may adjust better.

I wish i could give you advice on this, but my daughter is the same way, although we only live in a small apartment so i can get to her after her first initial wake up noises. I sleep with her at night time, she has always slept with me since birth, i know some people dont agree with that but, its what worked for us, and we both lived through the experience! I never once rolled over on her or anything of the sort. Back to the topic, she is used to me not being there when she wakes up from naps, but if i'm not there when she wakes up at night she's scared. Do you have a night light in there for him, and have you tried a favorite teddy bear beside him ? its hard to hear them cry,and its even harder on us when we know they are scared, but maybe just with time, he will realize that when he wakes up you come to greet him as soon as you hear hiiim stir. After all they do learn from repetition. Again, i have no experience with this lol, so its all just wishful thinking on my part, for me and you! Good luck joey and wife :)

Do you have a t.v in his room? Alot of people will say not to let your kids watch t.v. because they will mess up thir eyes or whatever. But my 2 year old cries as soon as she wakes up everytime she naps or goes to bed for the night. I tend to cut the t.v. to cartoons after she falls asleep and cut it down low but where she will hear it when she wakes. This catches her attention as soon as she wakes and she gets interested in it and does not cry. Then when it goes onto a commercial, she comes to find me in the house. Since you have a monitor in there, maybe when you think he is about to wake up, go up there to greet him and take him down with you.

i am sorry to hear that!maybe sth makes scared to your baby,so if i were you,maybe i sleep with baby for somedays till he can get used to.then put him in a single room.i dont know whether is a good idea,wish you have a good day,wish your baby get rid of that scared thing.

The only think that I can think of, Joey's wife is to always reassure him that you are near by and not going anywhere. He will get it soon enough that you are near and won't leave him for very long.
