As Rubies and Mr. Bee said, routines do help and I had DD on a schedule from early on so I'll try to do the same with #2 and hope for the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-kids-just-go-to-sleep-for-the-night-without-meltdowns-or-crankiness#post-428413 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 19:54:51 +0000 autumnlove 428413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: LO had a week of standing in the crib issues but she has been so easy to put down.

A very strict routine helps a lot, as does strong boundaries. Took us a while to figure that out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-kids-just-go-to-sleep-for-the-night-without-meltdowns-or-crankiness#post-428354 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 19:20:55 +0000 MamaBehr 428354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 9 month old is fighting sleep right now, but my daughter has been doing great.
