I had a lot of questions on this so rather than just using one I decided to answer them all. I know that it is hard to get your baby to sleep in their own beds, especially if they are used to sleeping with their mommy and daddy. You should not feel bad for having your baby sleep separate. It is what you and your baby need.

Yes, it does get easier. You just have to keep at it. Do the same routine every night, and don't give in, not even once. That one time will make them think that if they cry long enough that you will give in. I'm not saying let your baby cry for 20 minutes until they fall asleep. I never let Alex cry for longer than 5 minutes. I go in and tell him that I love him and that he is safe and calm him down. You don't want your baby to be scared to go to sleep, which is why I go in and talk to Alex.
