Uuuhhhhh.....everything...ha! First off he sleeps in the bed with us, which I'm sure he will till at least school. Me and DH both never let him cry for longer then 5 seconds before were picking him up and trying to sooth him . At 8 months He's spoiled and were suckers, lol well have to see what happens as he gets older.

@Bao: letting her come into our bed in the middle of the night. she is 4 and we have only just succeeded in stopping her. we literally have to send her back to her room when she comes and its a bit heartbreaking because she is so used to it. but we had to put our foot down with the 2nd baby on the way

We never co-slept to start off the night but regretted the middle of the night coming into our room. It was a hard habit to break with LO1.

@Jackiedavis87: You still have time!! My daughter coslept for 9 months and switched to a crib! You can get your bed back eventually (and it's wayyyyy easier to convince them to sleep alone after 1 year when they can have stuffed animals in the bed).

Letting her sleep in our bed, we didn't until she was almost 2...and I wish we never would have started. Breaking it at almost 4 has been nearly impossible. DD2 will not be getting into bed with us, I'm not recreating this bad habit.

Watching tv! Now if we turn on the tv they want to watch a kid's show. It's not that big of deal if we just turn off the tv altogether, but with football season coming, DH will want to have the tv on!

Eating in the living room. When DS was born all our nice rules sort of flew out the window and DD ended up eating in the living room a lot either watching a show or hanging out while I nursed. Now that DS is a little older we're trying to move back to eating at the table like regular people but DD always wants to eat on the couch! Ugh.

@Jackiedavis87: Same boat. He is our only and I work long hours so I really enjoy spending time with him at night even if we are asleep! DW not so much. We need to change our habit soon .....

Wheels on the bus video on YouTube. If he even sees my phone he is asking for "bus" ... and he's legit probably only seen it 5-10 times over the years but he is obsessed and melts down sometimes.

Stroller snacks. She basically requires them on the way to and from daycare. The morning ones are particularly annoying to me because she will literally finish eating breakfast, jump in the stroller and ask for a snack, and then have another breakfast at daycare 15 min later.

Also screentime, but we've gotten pretty good at limiting it so it's not so bad these days.

With my first it was feeding to sleep, then bottles in the middle of the night.

With my second, I never fed to sleep and never had to deal with middle of the night wake ups. ( after about 12 weeks old.)

Snacks in the car after daycare. A few days in a row I had snack sized bags of goldfish or animal crackers and now every day he gets in the car and says "Mommy, are there any cookies in here?" He just expects the snacks and I think it's ruining his dinner.

Sleeping in the rock n play. She needs to transition to the crib and its going to be rough! But she's been rolling for a while now, and the last few nights she's trying to roll over in the rock n play, so its time. I tried putting her down in there on Friday night and that lasted like 5 minutes lol She'll nap in the crib though! so, there is hope. I'm just dreading the night transition.

@JennyLayneAZ: Magic Merlin sleep suit was my saving grace transitioning my son from the rock n play to the crib.
