How many of you still rock your baby? If you dont how do you get your baby to sleep

Question

I must confess I’m the mom who started rocking her baby to sleep and now that’s the only way he will fall asleep! I’m trying to break the habit but I can’t seem to get him to fall asleep any other way. Does anyone have any tricks?

Answer

Pssshhh I praise anyone who can just set their fully awake baby down for bed. They’re surly magic. We rock our daughter except for naps, she just sorta goes to sleep on her own for her naps.

Answer

I made the a habit to rock my daughter to sleep. She’s a little over 7 months now and I’m regretting it because at her 6 month checkup she weighed 23 pds. 😫

Answer

I sleep trained her at 3.5 months because she would take hours to fall asleep in my arms and then scream if she even cracked an eyelid after being put down. I couldn't handle it anymore, so we have a routine and she is used to it now. Nurse, solids, bath, lotion, nurse, kisses, white noise on, set it crib, close the door. Now she doesn't cry, just rolls on her side, plays with her toes or jammies for a bit, and falls asleep. When she wakes up in the middle of the night sometimes she just rolls around her crib and I leave her alone, but when she cries I know she is hungry so I go feed her.

My son use to go to sleep by his self but one week I was away and his dad got him used to being rocked😣 I still try everyday not to rock him though it just takes longer when it does actually work. Well we actually don't pick him up and rock him he's a stomach sleeper so we rock his booty lol

Answer

I breastfeed to sleep and he sleeps on me and has done since birth. He’s only just started being able to sleep on his own, he’ll fall asleep in his pushchair if we’re out but wakes not long after we stop moving and I’ve started popping out from under him during his naps to try and get him to sleep on his own

Answer

I absolutely love rocking and cuddling my baby before bed. Honestly I still rock my 4 year old in the evenings sometimes after her little sister goes to sleep. I will rock them as long as they let me and I will cherish that time because they grow too fast ❤️

Answer

In the beginning I nursed to sleep. Then she used a pacifier to fall asleep and now she is a thumb sucker. She eats at 9 and then I lay her in the crib, turn her owl that is a nightlight and plays white noise on and wind up her mobile. She will suck her thumb until she falls asleep and if she wakes up she puts herself back to sleep.

Answer

My baby can fall asleep for his naps but never at night, I have to nurse him to sleep
