Super proud of my little girl 💖

She’s 2 next month and she’s started to soothe herself to sleep! I hope I don’t jinx myself, but I pop her into her cot and say mummy will be right back. She giggles and says yes mama. Within 10 mins she’s put herself to bed! Bittersweet moment. But very proud of my superstar and wanted to share 🥰 x x

Awww well done! This is a big achievement! I remember the relief of my little boy starting to do it. Clever babies!

This is so great to hear ! xx can i ask how you got her to do it ? my one still wants me to be with her and screams if i leave the room

@Irsa we did this when my little boy was 11 months old you have to start off very slowly and leave them for say 1 minutes at a time. The next time 2 minutes and so on. Our first time took 40 mins but after that he’s always just gone to sleep himself

That’s lovely 🥰

Thank you so much @Alex @Maria 🥰 it’s these little things, that mean so much! Hope your almost two years olds are happy, healthy and thriving!

@Irsa bless her! It just means she has a lovely relationship and connection with you 🥰. I would notice that my little one was getting agitated and started putting her in the cot after I changed her last evening nappy, singing and chatting to her. I’d then pop out and say, mummy back in a minute. Sometimes she’s fine, sometimes she’d scream the house down 😂. I just kept repeating this but leaving the time more and more. If it was 10/15 mins and she hadn’t settled I’d just pop her in my bed and put her to sleep but she’s got the hang of self soothing now. I hope your little one picks it up soon, be kind to yourself. These things can take time 💖🥰
