Laying with baby to fall asleep?

Question

Do any other Mama's in this group have to lay with their babies for them to fall asleep? Aidan was always nursed to sleep until he was one and since then he needs someone to lay with him until he falls asleep. 
If so, how do you plan to break this habit? Or do you guys have any suggestions?? I would like him to hopefully be able to fall asleep on his own before we have another baby.

Answer

sometimes, I try not to, lol my husband has climbed in her crib the last couple weeks a few times, hes been in charge of her bedtime since we had #2 a couple weeks ago and got tired so decided to sleep with her in there for a bit... I'm still amazed he fit lol.
we had to cuddle to sleep, finally I started putting her in her crib and just kept laying her down and saying, lay down, night night, bedtime on repeat. been a couple months of that now and shes doing really well. most nights it's a half hour of that and just sitting there or sometimes holding her hand til shes asleep. I think another month and she could be at the point to where we can put her down and leave the room... but I might be dreaming lol. shes gotten really good at putting herself back to sleep at night, which is huge, she used to be up 1-4 times and it could take a couple hours to get her back down.

I am following for suggestions- I have the same problems

Answer

We put Will down awake. Sometimes he cries and depending we will go back in and comfort him or just let him cry a bit, but mostly he knows the routine. 😴😴😴

Answer

I rock my son to sleep every night.. lately he’s been laying in his crib sometimes because he gets too squirmy but he HAS to hold my hand/fingers. Not sure why, but he’s always done it lol

Answer

I’m sorry, I wish I had advice. I’ve been really lucky with nap/bedtime. Miles goes in his crib awake for both. If I wait until he is almost asleep, he usually has a little more difficulty letting me leave. So on a regular night, he makes me give kisses to his blanket, stuffed animals, and him. Then, he tells me “buhbye mommy” and blows kisses. Then he talks to himself and flips around for awhile. It’s the sweetest thing in the world and I hope bedtime is like this forever haha. My husband is seldom home for bedtime, but when he is, he throws off the whole routine.

Nemat goes to sleep at bedtime alone and at naptime alone but the past few weeks he won’t go back to sleep if he wakes up unless I put him in our bed. For 2 weeks he did sleep through the night, but my husband is coaching a camp out of town this whole week and he has woken up every night and pointed to the door to get me to take him with me. Since I’ve had no help this week I have given in so I can sleep but I’m hoping when my husband comes back it will break the habit. We always put him to bed together and my husband usually handles night wakings when they happen so part of me thinks he’s just looking for his Daddy when he wakes up.

I used to relish laying next to my 18 month olds bed 6 weeks ago because I could nap uninterrupted and let dad take the baby (had a 2 week old by that point so it was a lil break for me since his sleeping patterns are all over the place)
But as of 2 weeks ago sleeping next to my oldest in his room while he fell asleep is no longer an option because now he won’t sleep if we stay in the room 😫 so I literally have to say - it’s bedtime, I love you and we’re close by if you need us and we will come if you do....then I leave the room. 
I have a baby cam with a speaker and I can talk to him thru it and that will usually settle him down. Mind you, we still give him a bottle of almond milk to go to bed on. Idk how I’m gonna break that habit before he’s 2 now that his baby brother is here and drinking bottles so... but he’ll drink away and drift off 9 times out of 10.
I’d say if he’s in his own room, leave and close the door and see what happens 🤷🏼‍♀️
