It is NOT obvious to me why sleeping in the parents bed is 'not a good solution' - many people do this. Our 2 and 4 year old now walk themselves to our bed if they want to (always go to bed in their own bed), and they don't wake us up. For our family, that is the optimal solution. In my opinion, you have to make it YOUR choice and not the kids choice, and it has be right for YOUR family. | |

The ominous link about research that suggests the "cry it out" approach is harmful refers to newborns who are crying, not 1+ year olds who scream a lot. Based on what you said, she's not afraid of the dark because she does it during the day when it's naptime. She also doesn't seem to be in any pain since she co-sleeps fine with the parents. Either she has bad separation anxiety or she's just manipulating. | |

| Jan 5, 2015 at 20:41 | comment | added | user11394 | @JonathanDeCarlo Such links worried me, as well, which is why my method didn't involve leaving the child alone to cry. Still, a child can cry for long periods of time with a parent immediately present and providing some comfort. | |
| Jan 5, 2015 at 20:37 | comment | added | Jonathan DeCarlo | @scrappedcola - To be honest, I didn't consider the possibility that she could be scared of the dark. I will ask her parents if they use a nightlight and, if not, I will pass this suggestion along. | |
| Jan 5, 2015 at 20:36 | comment | added | Jonathan DeCarlo | @CreationEdge - I would agree when an hour not being all that long, but now I'm a little worried given the link you provide in your answer about potential mental or emotional harm. | |

She might benefit from a nightlight stuffy, like a glowworm or a music/mobile similar to fisher mobile, she doesn't need the upper attachment but the main unit is something that might help if she is scared.It's also something that she can turn on herself. | |

| Jan 5, 2015 at 3:36 | comment | added | user11394 | I'm sorry I don't have an answer right away, but letting her cry "over an hour" doesn't strike me as all that long. Yes, it's an eternity when you're listening to it for that long, but infants and children can go longer (especially when they know the parents will give in eventually). | |
