How to help toddler fall asleep on her own?

Question

She's almost 2 and until now she's always been using the boob to fall asleep or she would be rocked to sleep. Now she's weaned and getting heavier, these are no longer options for us. We want to teach her how to fall asleep by herself. We know routines are hard to break, but better now than never. Letting her cry to sleep is not an option. 
We need help on how to get started please. ❤️

Answer

Look into sleep training methods that would work for ur family(there are a lot of options, including no cry methods). Honestly it’s probly going to result in her crying no matter what u do since she’s been in the habit for this long😬 just remember if she’s crying it’s because she’s throwing a fit and not getting what she wants lol but a new habit will be easy to start, most kids adjust easily to a new routine after a few days.

Answer

We sleep trained with the gentle 5 minute method. Do a very calming consistent night time routine, ex- bottle or snack, bath, jammies, stories, snuggles, bed. Put her in bed awake and tell her it’s time for sleep and give her a hug/kiss. Make it as peaceful and positive as possible. Turn the light out, leave the room and close the door. If she cries, start a timer. If she’s still crying at 5 minutes go in and reassure her, tell her it’s okay and that it’s time for sleep and then leave and close the door again. Repeat that as many times as needed on night #1. Usually doesn’t take more than 2 or 3 times before they fall asleep. On night #2 make
It 6 minutes, and then go up a minute every night. Since she’s older it may take up to 2 weeks for it to really work so don’t give up! And whatever you do, don’t pick her up! It’s so hard as a mom to let your babe cry but as long as they aren’t in severe distress it’s okay. At 6 months old babies learn how to cry to get want they are wanting. They aren’t exactly manipulating but they observe our reactions and modify their behavior to illicit the response they’re looking for.

Answer

Your just gonna have to let her throw a fit until she goes to sleep. Theres no easy way to do it at this age because you made it a habit. Change her sleep routine and just tuck her into bed, read a short story and leave the room. She will cry for awhile

Answer

When I had to wean my daughter we totally switched up our night routine. Maybe give that a try. She did fuss a few times but that was to be expected. We didn’t let her cry it out in bed alone but recognized that change is hard for everyone so there were some feelings.
