Toddler in own bed issues....grrr

Well I swore that I would not be a mom that let my child sleep in my bed. Well it has happened for the past month now. Nylah will go to sleep in her crib but about two hours after she is there she starts crying histerically. And then I go in to lie her back down and she is standing up with her hands up saying "mama bed" and I feel so incredibly bad. I have tried to lay her back down and put her aquarium on (music thingy with lights) but she screams like someone is hurting her. I need her to sleep in her bed, my DH has been sleeping on a submarine in what looks like the space of a coffin for the past 3 months and I want him to be able to sleep comfortably in our bed when he gets home in the next few weeks. Any suggestions I have two weeks to break this vicious cycle. I don't want to be completely sleep deprived either...HELP!!

My daughter was a little older when I attacked this problem - probably closer to 2. She was in her own bed. I used the Super Nanny technique. It was hard the first night, but the next was easier. It did work! Here is a link: http://www.supernanny.com/Advice/-/Supernanny-techniques/-/D iscipline-and-reward/The-off-the-hip-technique.aspx

I  put a little tv in my sons' room when he was doing this, and would let him watch movies until he fell asleep. I know its the big "no no" thing, but when you need rest or to get some things done it may be your only option. Another thing I did was, just basically ignored the crying until he fell asleep. Of course I would check on him, make sure he was okay.
Right now I am fighting the staying in bed issue because he's in a toddler bed as of last week, it's hard but once they have that routine down it will get easier.

I think our girls were twins separated at birth!  We always seem to be having the same problems.  We are remodeling so Hannah is in our bedroom.   She started out in the toddler bed, but I got lazy.  When she wakes up I have to pass back by the bed to take her to the rocking chair (yet another bad habit lol)).  Somehow I started bringing her to our bed.  Now as soon as I put her in her bed she wakes up and screams.   When we get her room finished I'm going to be a mean mommy and let her cry in out.   I don't know what else to do!
Good luck!  I know you are looking forward to hubby coming home!

Yeah I think so....why do they have to be so darn difficult. And I remember reading one of your posts a while back saying Hannah didn't sleep through the night, I thought poor mommy. Now I am in that same situation and it really does suck.
