I usually lay with her after book, prayer, and a song and she falls asleep within minutes. I love our time together. </p> <p>Lo2 is 10 months. He falls asleep on the boob and then wakes up when I put him down in the crib. He cries for a couple of minutes but usually falls back down asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-go-to-sleep#post-2675053 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 08:29:34 +0000 FaithFertility 2675053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (2) in her bed, DH sings her a sing and pats her back!</p> <p>DS (10 weeks) after a bottle, or he goes down drowsy and finds his thumb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-go-to-sleep#post-2675019 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 07:11:36 +0000 hellobeeboston 2675019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ds 1 (4) gets 3 or 4 books, then we dim the lights and lay with him. We often fall asleep in his twin bed doing this! But lately he wants us with him until he falls asleep. He was always good going to bed on his own until about 3.5. </p> <p>Ds 2 (1) gets a bottle still with books in his sleep sack, dim lights, then put into his crib. Half the time still awake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-go-to-sleep#post-2675013 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 06:51:45 +0000 erinbaderin 2675013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both boys have baths, and then one parent takes each (we rotate). B (3) gets jammies on, we cuddle up on the bed and read three stories, then turn out the lights, turn on the clock, the nightlight, and the white noise, hold hands and chat for a minute, and then we leave and he falls asleep. W (10 months) gets into his sleepsack, we read a book, sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, he gets a kiss and we say "I love you baby, have a good sleep" and then he goes into his crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-go-to-sleep#post-2674984 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 01:19:08 +0000 gingerbebe 2674984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 year old gets tucked into this floor bed + tent situation with all his friends and bed accoutrement (pillows, blankets, loveys, etc). We sing the same 2 songs, do prayers, hugs and kisses, and I zip up his tent and turn on his white noise machine. I always say "Night night mommy loves you" before I leave the room.</p> <p>7 month old gets the same 2 songs, prayers, and I set him down in his crib. At home he squawks for about 10 minutes and rolls over and goes to sleep. While we were at our ILs for Christmas, he needed to be held longer and rocked a bit and nursed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-go-to-sleep#post-2674982 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 00:49:05 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2674982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (19mos) either nurses to sleep or DH rocks &amp; sings her to sleep. I'd like to get more serious about putting her to bed awake, or at least drowsy, but we admit we love to have her fall asleep in our arms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-go-to-sleep#post-2674937 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 22:34:07 +0000 sapphire 2674937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>21 mintha and after we read books and sing songs, she runs to her bed, hops in, we tuck her in and say goodnight and she goes to sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-go-to-sleep#post-2674924 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 22:17:23 +0000 skinnycow 2674924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (9 months) needs to be nursed/rocked to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-go-to-sleep#post-2674903 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 21:52:46 +0000 catgirl 2674903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 2 - she nurses, we rock while singing two songs, and then she goes in her crib awake.

I rocked DD1 for hours every single night for over a year before I had enough and never rocked DD2 to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-go-to-sleep#post-2674880 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 21:38:53 +0000 MrsSRS 2674880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS (3.5) gets a kiss and a tuck in then we leave and he goes to sleep.<br /> DD (1.5) still nurses to sleep and I am SO ready to not do that anymore.

Now DH lays in HER bed with her till she falls asleep </p> <p>2.5 week old - Either nursing or swaddle/rocking </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-go-to-sleep#post-2674828 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 21:04:06 +0000 travellingbee 2674828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do they need to rocked or nursed or held or do you just put them in bed/crib and say goodnight? My oldest (3) really prefers us to lay in bed with him but will fall asleep with out about 50% of the time. The youngest (1) has gotten used to being rocked and I'm trying to break that habit. They are both a work in progress. </p>
