Sleeping on her own

We have been trying to train Lil Shauna to sleep on her bed in her room with the maid for at least a month but we failed miserably. The plan is to let her fall asleep in our room and shift her over to her bed. We will start with the weekends and then slowly increase the frequency.

In the initial stage, there had been several occasions that she slept through the night but we had no success after that. She will start crying for mummy in the middle of the night and refused to continue to sleep in her bed. And the moment I bring her over, she will fall back to dreamland almost immediately. There is certainly something magical about our bed. Hohoho. Till now, we havent managed to make her sleep through or increase the frequency.

Last weekend was even worse. She was down with flu and I cannot bear to let her sleep on her own and only attempted on Sunday night. She started crying at 1+am. -___-" Win liao.

She should have problem with her bed mah. She takes her afternoon naps in her bed. I am still not sure what wakes her up in the night. Too hot/ cold? No space to flip? Our bed got special smell? My mum suggested for us to start increasing the frequency even when she doesnt sleep through now. I am thinking of sleeping with her in the room to see what is it that wakes up, but that will mean me forsaking my big bed. Hohoho.

I will try again today and perhaps every other night. Hopefully, she will start to sleep through soon. Then maybe we have to take a step further and teach her to fall asleep in her own bed. Ahh, sound like mission impossible already. We have 5 months to make her sleep through in her bed. Otherwise, the room will be too cramp in the future.

Updates:
Last night attempt failed again. Lil Shauna woke up crying and screaming for mummy at 1am. -.o" She refused to stay in her room. When I carried her to ours and put her on our bed, she turned and tossed and asked for milk. She went back to dreamland shortly afterbher milk. Looks like I have to soon shift in to the baby room to soend the night with her and the maid liao. Maybe my presence in the room will help? Or should I let her cry and not bring her back to our room when she wakes up in the night? Haizz..
