Sleeping baby guilt...

care22

Does anyone else ever feel guilty if they put their DC to bed and their DC doesn't fall asleep for a half hour or so? DC isn't crying or anything, just laying in the crib talking to themselves or entertaining themselves? It's happened a few times where DD will give all the tired signs...fussy, rubbing eyes, snuggling....so i put her to bed and when she hits her crib she just hangs out and talks and wanders around. No crying so I don't go get her. But I feel like I should have waited longer so that she coudl have some good run around time. Anyone else like that?

No guilt. I think DC just needs some quiet alone time. We all do, so why wouldn't they?
