I felt really strong about crating mine at night. I found that moving the kennel by my bed helped a great deal. Tia's kennel was on top of Ally's. Then the end of October, my mil passed away and both DID NOT want to go upstairs to their kennels. I carried them one at a time, both of them shaking in fear the whole time. Ally even cried a little. We don't know why because my mil was only here for two weeks before she passed. It made me so concerned, I purchased an Arms Reach Mini Co-sleeper and now they sleep right beside me like a baby. I was concerned to put them in the bed with us at night too. Ally sleeps so close to me also and I was afraid to move. She is two years old and slightly over 3 lbs. Neither one of us sleeps when she gets into bed with us. I feel like a crazy-woman, putting them in a bassinet, but it's working great. They will now go upstairs on their own and wait for me to put them in their bed. |
