putting baby to sleep ?

Question

my 7 month old usually falls asleep on her swing , but I need to figure out how to put her down without it . ANY TIP? this is harder than I thought.

Answer

I am a strong believer in sleep training. Did it with all three of my kids. I feel like rocking to sleep can make the babies dependent on it to fall asleep, which means he’ll be rocking him or her to sleep for a long time. So I hold baby until he or she is nice and tired but not asleep, then I put them in their crib. Sometimes they’ll cry a little and I’ll let them for a few minutes but if they’re really tired they’ll only cry for a minute or two and drift off pretty easily. The first few days though are harder if they’re used to being rocked to sleep.

Answer

Try switching up their routine. We switched from the rock n play about 2 months and put him down for his naps in his pack n play to get him used to it. We did that for a week, until he started not waking up when we put him down. After that, we changed up the bedtime routine. Solids, bath time, lotion, book, bottle, and then we put him down. We have even started putting him down when he isn't quite asleep, and he puts himself to sleep! Good luck!

Answer

We got rid of the swing completely a few weeks ago. It was a hard transition. I put him in a dock a tot in his crib and that helped a ton
