Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months
Sleeping Question
Just a though! When is your LO to old to rock? My husband said its time to stop rocking, esp if we are thinking of having another one. My LO is almost 18 months old and I still rock her to sleep. She is also still getting up every so often and wants me to lay with her. Any ideas on how I can break this habit before she gets a big girl bed one day? Should I stop rocking and if I do how to i transition to that? Any advice????

Re: Sleeping Question
I would just start rocking her until she's almost asleep, and putting her down awake. Soon you'll be able to rock her less and less and eventually you'll be able to put her straight down. That's what I did with nursing/rocking DD to sleep at a few months old, anyway. Hopefully she's not too set in her ways.

I wouldn't worry much about it. I rocked my son to sleep for bedtime until a few months ago when he no longer really wanted that, and only this week stopped rocking him to sleep for his naps most days because he doesn't care too much anymore (and he's 20 months).
I always liked the saying "it's not a problem until it's a problem." If she's taking forever to get to sleep or you're frustrated with the process then I would try to make a change. If you're both perfectly content, I wouldn't stop now...especially just because you're thinking about having another one. If you're not even pregnant yet, you have plenty of time to worry about it later if need be (and by then I bet it will have worked itself out).
