When is the appropriate time to put you LO on a bedtime schedule? As in sleeping in her own bed and her putting herself to bed.
The doctor told me now was the time to start. She needs to get used to the routine and this is how the doctor told me to do it. That she is just gonna have to cry it out. I’ll go up there every 15 minutes, put her back in bed, and give her a kiss. Then I shut the door and walk out. The doctor said it’s more of a habit that I need to get her in and I just wanna hear how you other mommas did it.

My kids all did it on their own time when they were ready. We followed their lead. I do not believe in CIO.

No you don’t have to do cry it out. We usually do bath time, then story time, then I let her turn off the light (smart light so it’s on my phone- she loves this), we turn her fishy light on that plays lullabies, then I nurse her to sleep. When she goes to sleep I leave the room. Sometimes she wants to nurse longer than I can, in which case I say “all done nurse” and lay with her till she falls asleep- she doesn’t like that but does fall asleep. We put her to bed with a sipper cup of water and when she wakes up she takes a big drink and falls back asleep on her own. Sometimes around 4/5am she comes in our bed, but I consider that a successful night. If she is really tired it only takes like 5 minutes! And she can fall asleep with dad too, if just takes longer because he doesn’t have the milk ;).

My son just started putting himself to sleep in the last 2 months or so. I used to rock him to sleep every night.

One day I just said “wanna go in your crib?” Cause he wasn’t falling asleep and seemed like he was trying to spread out in my arms. And he said “yeah” so I put him in there and he rolled over and went to sleep lol. I was amazed. But it was all on his own. I only have him tho so rocking him to sleep every night wasn’t a big deal for us

Honestly, I still rock my daughter to sleep and then lay her in her toddler bed, I know that alot of people frown upon it but it works for us so it's what I do. She usually sleep through the night and wakes up with no problem

@bitchcraft, I have two now! I have an 18 month old and a week old! The question is for my 18 month old. We normally sleep with her. I tried the CIO thing for a little but ended up going up stairs and laying in her bed with her till she fell asleep. 😭

I had a crib in my room and always tried putting her down by 11pm. (We stay up late in my household). We just moved my 1 and a half year old to her own room up stairs and shes done good every night when i put her up there. I wait til shes tired. Give her a bottle put moana on and shes out before the movie is over with no crying. Maybe wait til shes really tired and do your regular night time routine. And never show that youre stressing or she'll start acting out. Trust me, after 4 kids they all like to freak out with you 🙄
