I spend 5 to 10 minutes cuddling with him before bed time before putting him in bed. At most he'll whine for two minutes but he will fall asleep soon after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-put-your-lo-in-the-crib-drowsy-or-awake#post-487475 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 22:02:55 +0000 littlek 487475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to put him down while he's awake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-put-your-lo-in-the-crib-drowsy-or-awake#post-487462 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 21:56:54 +0000 skibobrown 487462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good topic! We always put DD to put very drowsy or asleep. Tonight however, she is not tired b/c she took some really long naps. So she is in bed right now wide awake. I am curious if she will fall asleep on her own. She has already been rolling around playing with her binkies for more than 30 minutes. Right now she is talking to one of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-put-your-lo-in-the-crib-drowsy-or-awake#post-487445 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 21:48:51 +0000 erwoo 487445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awake here. My youngest will fuss for a few seconds and then fall asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-put-your-lo-in-the-crib-drowsy-or-awake#post-487372 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 21:20:50 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 487372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never sleep trained, but we put M. in the crib awake. She doesn't make a peep and is asleep within 3-5 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-put-your-lo-in-the-crib-drowsy-or-awake#post-487350 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 21:11:31 +0000 Mrs. Bee 487350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>olive and charlie were wide awake. usually it would only take them a couple minutes to fall asleep -- especially charlie. sometimes olive rolls around talking to herself for up to 20 min. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-put-your-lo-in-the-crib-drowsy-or-awake#post-487339 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 21:06:43 +0000 heffalump 487339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that she is older she's wide awake. When she was a baby she was usually sleepy or sleeping. I know it's supposed to be a no no.... but we never had any issues with it. Now when we put her to bed she turns on her side, sucks her thumb, and goes to sleep without making a peep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-put-your-lo-in-the-crib-drowsy-or-awake#post-487333 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 21:03:00 +0000 yellowbird 487333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO won't go down drowsy or awake.

She then takes 10 minutes to giggle herself to sleep. Naps I put her down drowsy or already conked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-put-your-lo-in-the-crib-drowsy-or-awake#post-487099 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:26:49 +0000 runsyellowlites 487099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P will be 9 months on the 12th. I do both.... usually just put her down fully awake though and she just talks and rolls around until she falls asleep. If she cries I go in and will nurse/rock her until she's drowsy but that isn't the norm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-put-your-lo-in-the-crib-drowsy-or-awake#post-487095 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:23:30 +0000 mamajaja 487095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After sleep training, I'm still finding myself putting LO in the crib drowsy. She still cries or fusses a little after I put her down, but will fall asleep on her own after a few minutes. Don't get me wrong, her nap and sleep routine has definitely still improved, but I think I just expected a little more from the days and days of CIO-ing with LO.</p> <p>My original goal was to be able to plop LO in her crib awake after sleep training, but LO definitely seems to need some help getting drowsy. Granted I have been soothing LO a little longer these days, as she seems to need some more time to wind down before naps, but I also caved because I think she's going through Wonder Week 37, and the 9 month sleep regression. Now I'm considering retraining her to be able to be put in the crib awake, but I have some mommy guilt about putting her through it again and not doing it right the first time. =(</p> <p>After sleep training, do you still need to put your LO down drowsy, or are you able to put them in the crib awake and have them fall asleep completely on their own? </p>
