Want to Transtion 1 Year Old from Rocking to Sleep to Falling Asleep Alone
My son just turned 1 this month and since he was born we have rocked him to sleep. It wasn't really a concious choice, he 9 times out of 10 feel asleep while nursing and was simply put in bed asleep. Of course that 1 time out of ten, I couldn't bring myself to let him go to sleep crying so I (or my husband) would rock him until he slept. Now that he's a little older and 9 times out of 10 does NOT fall asleep with his nighttime bottle, I find myself rocking him for 20 minutes at least until he's asleep, and even longer if he's fighting sleep...
