My 10 month old WIll NOT sleep in his crid?

Ok mom's I need help. My son Cayden is 10 months will be 11 months on August 4th and will not not sleep in his crib. Yes Yes Yes I let him sleep with me this entire time. I know I should have put an end to it awhile ago but now it seems like an impossible task. I will let him fall asleep and the lay him in his crib but when he wakes he just screams at the top of his lungs. Now when he is bed with me and his dad, if he awakes in the nigh he will just lay there and play or will reach for his bottle and go back to sleep. My husband and I are ready to get back to married life but this seems imposible. Is there any advise out there. Thanks

Update:

Thanks for responding. Let me ask this. How long should I let him cry befor I pick him up and give in. It's like Cayden is not a normal little bay. I've seen kids cry awhile and then fall asleep but him OMG he will cry and cry louder and louder and I feel so bad for him. My husband calls me a sucker but I feel like a bad mom to just sit and let him cry

    Put him in his crib BEFORe he falls asleep. He needs to be just drowsy, but not completely asleep.

    Let him cry.

    No easy road on this one, sorry. You've got to stick to your guns and do it for a few days. It will work.

    My daughter went through this stage where she would wake up in the middle of the night and not go back to sleep unless you held her. As soon as you put her down, she would cry. After a couple weeks of this, we decided to let her CIO. It took about three days. The first night she cried for two hours straight. It was horrible. Every five minutes I would try to go to her but my husband wouldn't let me. After those three days though, she didn't do it again. She's now 14 months old, has a set nap schedule (one at 8:30 am, one at 1:30 pm), goes to bed in her crib at 7 pm (whether she wants to or not) and is up at 6 am (we're early risers). It will be really hard but it's definitely worth it (your sanity is worth it). Good luck!

    My daughter is the same way! She just turned 1 and has been in our bed since she was 7 mos. She got to where she was moving around so much in her sleep that she wasn't resting very well, so we decided to move her into her own bed. She hated her crib and wouldn't sleep in there at all, even when it was right next to our bed. I thought she just didn't want to sleep alone, but then I noticed that she napped great by herself if she was on our bed. I put a futon mattress on the floor next to our bed and put one of our bedsheets on it, and she is sleeping much better than she was in her crib. Not sure why, but if it helps her sleep better/longer, then I'm all for it! Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

    ETA: I could never let Addison cry either - just the thought made me feel awful.

    I ahve the same issue with my son and he is 19 months. He slept with us for a year and then I let him CIO in his crib which worked for a good four months, he slept like a dream. Now he is having issues with sleeping in his crib angain and this time CIO method aint really working. It's definately a hard habit to break but I'd say try to let him CIO it worked the first time for me.

    It is a hard habit to break. I went through it with my daughter when she was little. I would just let her cry it out and eventually she would go to sleep in her own bed.
