my 9 month old sleep PROBLEM

[kathy0926]

Hi

I have a 9 month old who up to recently was sleeping with me. My doctor recommended that I let him cry it out, so I can get him to sleep in his own bed.  Our problem is not the crying,but he will not lay down, he sleeps sitting up, until he iether eventually passes out or somethimes I can lay hm down. We are going on our 4th day.  I am worry about sleep deprevation.  Will he eventually know, just to lay down and not fight it or is he getting himself into a bad habit.

Thank you

A concern, anxious mother Kathy
