How long would you let your little "play" or fall alseep in bed.  SOme nights I lay my LO down for bed and he rolls around, stands, plays in bed for a few minutes but it has been going on for 40 minutes tonight.  He hasn't cried or even made a peep, he looks content on his monitor.  should I go inand rock him to sleep. FYI it is now 50 min past bedtime and he was fussy before I put him in his crib.

TIA

oh and how long would you let lo do this in the morning if he is't crying and seems content?

    Sometimes DS does this at bedtime.  I usually let him go about 10 minutes before I go rock him for 5, and he's out.  I don't want him going to sleep later and later, kwim?  Probably creating bad habits, but I don't care.

    I love it when he's content in the AM, because I can shower and get ready knowing he's happy and safe in his crib.

    If he isn't upset, I wouldn't bother him. Same goes for the morning; let him hang out until he fusses.

    I would just let him play.  If he is happy and not fussing then I wouldn't disturb him.  DS has done this before.  He normally will lay in there for 20 or 30 minutes on the weekends just babbling away to himself.

    I wouldn't rock him to sleep at night at all if he wasn't fussing/crying.  If he began to fuss/cry then I'd go in, and do our usual rocking with a few songs/paci/blankie then lay him back down and hope he falls asleep at that point.

    I would let him do it in the morning until I decided I wanted to go in and play with him.  If I have a few things to do around the house and he's content to play on his own I let him be and get that stuff done so that I can spend the rest of the day with him.  It never lasts more than a short while for us, though.  I wish he liked being left alone more often.
