They ain’t babies forever and won’t want a cuddle to sleep forever so whilst they do I’d cherish it! Xx
Nope :) he either is fed to sleep by me or dad will lay next to him and sing to him or if he won’t settle like that will cuddle and rock until he’s asleep then transfer. After his first wake he then comes from his floor bed into bed with me. 0 intentions of changing this when he’s ready he’ll eventually go to sleep on his own but they’re still so so little! Enjoy them while they’re small one day we won’t be cool enough to enter their bedroom at all x
My girl goes to bed and falls asleep herself but has been doing this for ages. They're all different. My eldest (now 13) was awful at sleeping so I swore that I wouldn't go through that again 😂
My daughter does BUT we are not allowed to leave her room 😂 She screams if we attempt to leave, so we have to sit in the exact spot she wants us to (this changes every night) and then we have to sneak out when she's asleep 😂
At night time, i let him on his bed to sleep by himself, but at nap time, we go to my bed, and I stay with him till he falls asleep.(My son is 18 months). Remember, every child and family is different. Everyone will have an opinion, and you can listen to it, but at the end of the day, you do what works/ feels is best for you and your child.
So should I do sleep training ?
Is this what you want? Is your child ready to sleep by herself? And you? If the answer is yes, then go ahead. If the answer is no, then no.
I think she is ready but no idea where to start. I can’t rock her to sleep anymore
I bloody wish 😂 have to hold my daughter to sleep every night
Nope my little boy has a bottle then cleans his teeth and has a cuddle till he’s asleep. People keep saying the same to me but there will be a day he’s not cuddling to sleep and I know that will come quicker than I think so I’m making the most of it 🥰
Nope. I rock my 17 month old for naps & bedtime. & I sit by my 5 year olds bed stroking her head until she’s asleep and will continue doing so
They are all different! We have a good sleeper but she's always (most of the time anyway!!) been like that at night time and gone down easily. Nap time is a different story!!
My youngest sings herself to sleep😅 My eldest though, she needed someone in the room with her until she went to sleep. Every child is different.
My son is stuck to my hip at night. Co sleeps in my bed. If he wakes up and doesn’t see me he will cry until I’m there to soothe him back to sleep. You’re not failing you’re surviving! Tbh Idm cuddles from my baby, are they gonna do this at the age of 10/20/30? No lol.

We can just put our 18m old down with a goodnight and no bottle etc and she just lays straight down but it took us a long time to get here x
What the purpose from sleeping by then self !!! Mine is fed to sleep ( boob ) Co sleep And happy about it she will eventually sleep by her self no rush for it
Nope, we lay with our LB until he's asleep. Sometimes he doesn't settle very well and we have to hold him/rock him to sleep, other nights we just lay beside him and he'll fall asleep with us there. We've never left him to get himself to sleep. They're only little once so enjoy them wanting you to be there with them 🩵🩷 x
NOPE! My daughter gets a cuddle as she drinks her milk at bedtime and when she’s fallen asleep I transfer her into her cot. The above might work for some people but I love hugging her to sleep. She will outgrow it soon and I will wish for those days back. Don’t feel bad! You’re doing an amazing job don’t feel like you’re failing because you feed your daughter to sleep. It’s a beautiful moment you both get together each day. Sod your MIL x
