Poll: How does your LO go to sleep at night?

Just wondering what others do

After our routine, I nurse her which usually makes her really drowsy. We lay her down in her crib, but stay with her while she gets comfortable. She usually rolls onto her side and is out within 5 minutes. No tears. This is new, and I'm loving it!

  • Bath, pjs, bottle at which he falls asleep to, but then wakes up usually when I'm putting him in his crib enough to roll around on to his tummy and then he falls asleep. This is usually, but not always.

  • Bath, into pj's, then final bottle.  We lay her down, kiss her goodnight, turn on the sound machine and shut the door.  She does the rest.  Sometimes she flips onto her tummy and is out in seconds, other times she lays there and babbles for awhile until she dozes off.

  • Every other night is bathtime, then it's pj time, and I nurse her. We have a little bit of cuddling (she tucks her head underneath my chin and puts her hand on my cheek). I put her into bed, blow her a kiss and say I love you, and then I wave bye bye and close her door. She talks herslef to sleep.
  • Food (solids), playtime, bath, diaper, lotion, pjs, nurse, burp, then lay down (wide awake, but drowsyish from nursing) - sometimes a little "talking" but usually nothing. ?

  • Bath, PJ's then bottle before bed...while he is drinking his bottle we listen to an old ipod I have in his room with speakers that I loaded lullaby music on, then he likes to cuddle with me after his bottle, then I put DS in his crib sometimes he goes right to sleep others he will babble and play for a little while.

  • Bath, massage, jammies, story, bottle (during stories), in bed awake. CD and white noise on, snuggies and kisses.

    We put the girls to be together.

  • jammies, bottle, books, bed. we put him down, he scrunches his little body up and closes his eyes, thumb in mouth. We leave, he is out in minutes.

    We are so lucky and I credit the baby whisperer! He had done this since about 3 months.

  • Bath, lotion and pjs, white noise machine, swaddle, drinks a bottle, than lay him in his crib with his paci. He is getting to where he doesn't want us to hold him until he is asleep, he is ready to fall asleep on his own.

    DD #1 passed away in January 2011 at 14 days old due to congenital heart disease
    DD#2 lost in January 2012 at 23 weeks due to anhydramnios caused by a placental abruption
  • Bath (every other night), lullaby CD on, diaper, lotion, pjs, bottle and stories at same time, turn off light at end of bottle, snuggle/kisses and then into bed.  Turn off the CD and the ocean sound machine stays on.

    Sometimes he goes right to sleep, sometimes he'll play for a bit and everyonce in awhile he fusses/cries as I leave the room--but settles within a couple minutes.

  • DD gets dinner about a half hour after the last time we nurse, then we change her diaper, into pj's, a little playtime (for some reason getting her all excited helps her calm down after), read a couple books, turn out the lights and sing and rock.  Once she's started to really relax, we lay her down in her crib and kiss her goodnight and leave.  Sometimes she rolls onto her tummy or side, and she usually grabs her little polar bear and starts talking to him.  This can last anywhere from 5-45 minutes.  Once she gets to 45 minutes and is still babbling, I'll tiptoe in and sneak a paci into her mouth.  That always puts her out.

  • I nurse her down every night.
  • No bath at night. Dim lights, new dipe and PJs. Maybe a story depending how tired DS is, always the same one. We snuggle while he has a bottle, and then he goes in his crib, I rub his back for a minute, turn on white noise and leave. He either falls right to sleep or talks for 15 minutes or so.

  • Diaper change, lotion, jammies, bottle or boob, and bed. He's normally awake but drowsy when he goes down. He immediately rolls onto his belly. Some days he falls asleep right away (today) and some days he plays in his crib until he falls asleep. We keep some toys in his crib just for that reason.
  • Same, nurse, lay him down, stay for a few minutes and he's out.
