If your baby sleeps 5+ hours at night, do you set them down asleep or awake?

Question

Answer

We set our baby down right after she yawns it looks sleepy/ after her last feeding. 
we have a camera so after we put her down she kicks and talks for about 10-15 min and then passes out 
As long as she isn’t crying or fussing/ staying awake for more than 15 min we just let her lay in her bed in the dark, noise machine on, with binkie 
We have been doing this since she was like 2.5 months and it’s awesome!

Answer

Babe falls asleep in my arms and then I put him down. Works for us he is sleeping thru the night fine and when he wakes up throughout the night he is usually able to soothe himself back to sleep on his own

Answer

I co sleep. My girl won’t go to sleep without a boob in her mouth and as soon as I move her she wakes up. So she sleeps on me🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I concentrate on her wake windows. So at 4 months, a baby should be up about 1.5 hours before they sleep again. Thus, I make sure to time her last nap of the day so that she has 1.5 hours of play time, bottle, and nighttime routine before laying her down sleepy but still awake. We do a consistent bedtime routine every night that helps her know when bedtime is coming and she falls asleep on her own in less than 10 mins without crying.

Answer

Kinda depends. I give her her last bottle and sometimes she'll fall asleep towards the end of the bottle and sometimes she's still awake. If she's still awake, I'll hold her for a while until she's drowsy at least. I try not to put her to bed when she's fully awake.

Answer

Awake all the way or we might see trouble later on. Not our first baby. But we always sleep train early. Things are going excellent! Bed time at 8 for both kids. Cecily (5months) wakes rarely at 2 for 8oz and the at 6 for 8oz then sleeps until 7:30 sometimes 8. Plays most of the day with one or two 1-2hr naps. 4 year old goes to bed at 8:00, usually doesn’t fall asleep until 10 and gets up at 7-7:30. Pretty good to me!
