How long to fall asleep

My LO is almost 13 weeks old and I'm trying to put her down for naps and sleep when she is drowsy but not fully asleep, so we aren't rocking or bouncing her to sleep anymore. It usually takes 30 min of soothing in her Rock n play and crib (which we are transitioning to this week) until she falls asleep and I am trying not to rock her but stroke her hair and sing to her. I'm just curious how long it takes other LO's to fall asleep and what they do to soothe. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Re: How long to fall asleep

  • For day time naps I would say it takes about 15/20 minutes of patting and shushing while she is in her crib (day time naps in crib are still a work in progress). I am trying to stick to a schedule so that I put her in her crib before she is too tired, otherwise she doesn't fall asleep. Night time, she is out in minutes, cause we have that routine well established.
