Are there any mamas who rock their baby to sleep every time they sleep?

Question

I rock my 6 month old baby girl to sleep every night and for every nap. She usually falls asleep with 2-3 minutes then I rock her another 10 then lay her down. Sometimes she sleeps 2-4 hours sometimes she only sleeps 10-20 minutes. I’m wondering if there are other moms who do the same and their baby sleeps through the night. How old is your baby? What do you do to help them sleep? I have her on a strict schedule nap at 10 am nap at 2 pm then bedtime at 630 and we have a bedtime routine we do every day. I’m just looking for any other tips. I do not want to sleep train. No judgement for those who do but we tried it and it just wasn’t for us. This will probably be my only baby and I honestly enjoy rocking her. Even if your baby doesn’t sleep through the night I’d like to hear from other mamas who rock their babies. Because I get a lot of judgment for it from moms who sleep train.

Answer

I have a 1 year old baby girl and I still do it but for naps only, at night I nurse her to sleep and only sometimes rock her to sleep. She sleeps 2 hours usually for her naps. And at night she sleeps like 10 hours. 
I usually wait that she's asleep for a while before putting her on the bed or crib because she likes to know that I'm not leaving her and I also use a blanket, she falls asleep faster that way.

I rock my baby girl and she’s gonna be a year in two weeks. I’m currently 5 months pregnant. I love it and she loves and I don’t care what people think. She also naps at 10:30 & 2:30 and will nap about 2 hours and she’s ready for bed by 8 every night. My thing is they don’t stay little very long so I’m taking advantage of her wanting me to hold her. She sleeps better at night now but occasionally wakes up at like 2am or 4am. Sometimes she’s asleep through the whole night.

I nurse my son to sleep, so basically the same idea 😁 He doesn't quite sleep through, but he's never been a great sleeper. He takes one two hour nap a day and he sleeps from 9 to 3ish and then nurses back down until around 8. He is slowly sleeping longer and longer stretches, we are against sleep training also. I trust that my son will sleep through when his body is ready.

Have you tried a music box or white noise machine? My son is 6 months old and has always been a good sleeper. Every night we dim the house down and keep it quiet. We feed him his two things of baby food give him some water here and there then I bathe him. We use the lavender soap and the lotion. He sleeps in little footie pjs and then my husband feeds him his bottle. I rock him if he isn’t already asleep. Sometimes I have to rock him till he falls asleep and others I just have to rock till he gets drowsy. Try using a white noise machine or something like that if you haven’t tried it. My sons been sleeping through the night since 2 months old.

Answer

My 18 month old I rock her for her nap and at night she just drinks her bottle and falls asleep. But I used to rock her to sleep every night

Answer

My husband has rocked our son to sleep since a few months old (he is 16 months now).  He has slept through the night whether rocked or not since 3 months though (we got veryyyyyyy lucky)

Answer

I didn’t rock my oldest I just held her till she was asleep and still do, she almost two. We didn’t sleep train either due to her having breathing problems that any long bouts of crying would have her wheezing all night. Also I bedshared with her till two months ago when we moved her to a big girl bed on her own so I didn’t have to worry about my newborn waking her at night
