1. Down awake, drowsy, or passed out?
Any of the above - it depends. I still give her a bottle right before bed, so she sometimes falls asleep right after while I have her on my shoulder to burp her.
2. Do you rock/bounce/pat /etc. before leaving the room?
Rock while feeding & burping before I put her down. If she's still awake, I pat her butt for a minute before leaving the room.
3. How long does LO fuss before falling asleep?
It really varies. A few minutes to 1/2 an hour, but that's on and off. Not 1/2 hour straight.
4. How long does LO cry before falling asleep? Also varies.
5. At what point do you go back in to soothe?
It really depends. If she's all-out CRYING, I go in right away. If she's just fussing, I generally leave her be unless it escalates. If she's fussing and crying I go in every 5 - 10 minutes. I can tell the difference between her "I'm complaining because I don't want to be in this crib" cry, as opposed to the "I mean business" cry, where she won't be able to settle down on her own. That's when I go in and pick her up and walk with her for a minute. The soothing from afar strategies (patting, shushing, rubbing, talking, etc.) don't work with her. She gets PISSED.
P.S. - I added the numbers because TB won't let me "unbold" things. What's up with that?? Annoying.
Passed out
She still falls asleep on me most times and yes, I have to rock, bounce and pat her usually. Or just turn on my white noise app, it depends on how tired she is. She also will fall asleep while eating.
I don't let her fuss much, so I'm not sure.
I don't let her cry before falling asleep.
If she wakes up after I lay her down, I try to wait a bit to see if she'll fall back asleep, but usually she starts full on crying, so I pick her up.
I have to use Ctrl B on my keyboard to bold/unbold.
Well, look at that. Thanks!!

How long does LO fuss before falling asleep? I wish it were less, but often 10 min... and then I wish it resulted in sleep, but usually not
How long does LO cry before falling asleep? She usually takes anywhere from thirty minutes to two hours every night to go down. Sometimes it's a total of 5 min crying spaced out, other times it's much more. We try to avoid it but no luck so far.
At what point do you go back in to soothe? When she starts properly crying. We only pick up if she can't be calmed. But this happens at least 4 times each evening, often more. We need some intervention on this front. Once she's down, she's good for hours.
Down awake, drowsy, or passed out? For naps awake but tired (not quite drowsy yet), for bed time passed out.
Do you rock/bounce/pat /etc. before leaving the room? For naps I just put her pacifier in and leave the room, so usually falls asleep within a few minutes. For bed time she falls asleep drinking her bottle. I have tried to do what I do for naps at bed time, but it does not work for some reason, last time I tried she was wide awake and it took me an hour and a half to get her to sleep. I know they say put down drowsy, but for now I would just rather both of us get some rest :-)
