He likes to sleep alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-like-you-to-stay-in-the-room-while-they-fall-asleep#post-1978210 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 08:51:53 +0000 yellowbird 1978210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's still in a crib and I don't think she would ever fall asleep if I stayed I there. Maybe when she gets a bigger bed and I can lay down with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-like-you-to-stay-in-the-room-while-they-fall-asleep#post-1978201 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 08:40:21 +0000 lawbee11 1978201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never given her the option, so she doesn't even know that's a possibility! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-like-you-to-stay-in-the-room-while-they-fall-asleep#post-1978192 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 08:27:53 +0000 looch 1978192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my son is 4, but we cosleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-like-you-to-stay-in-the-room-while-they-fall-asleep#post-1978185 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 08:23:38 +0000 Andrea 1978185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, they've never asked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-like-you-to-stay-in-the-room-while-they-fall-asleep#post-1978034 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 01:43:10 +0000 MrsLilybugg 1978034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but she sleeps in our bed so technically it's both our room lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-like-you-to-stay-in-the-room-while-they-fall-asleep#post-1978033 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 01:39:55 +0000 birdofafeather 1978033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if she has a random MOTN wake up will we entertain it.

I don't know why it's okay with him (just turned 2 years), but it works for us, because it usually takes him 5-7 minutes to fall asleep for naps with us, but if we're in the room, it takes 45-an hour for him to fall asleep at night (usually 5-20 if we aren't in the room). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-like-you-to-stay-in-the-room-while-they-fall-asleep#post-1977925 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 23:26:28 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1977925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son (3.5) likes to cuddle before I leave the room and has been very clingy when I try to go lately. One night recently he cried :-( But I do try to make sure I always go within a reasonable period of time BEFORE he falls asleep to avoid setting up the expectation that I'll stay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-like-you-to-stay-in-the-room-while-they-fall-asleep#post-1977921 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 23:24:45 +0000 mrbee 1977921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our kids have been on and off on this front. Our son is 5 and he hasn't needed anyone in his room for a few years now! Tonight though, he really wanted one of us to stay in the room with him. I told him I'd be in there in 10 minutes, and he fell asleep while he was waiting for me.</p> <p>Does your toddler+ like you to stay in the room while they fall asleep? </p>
