I rock them in my arms.
I rock them in a bouncy seat, swing etc.
I let them cry until they fall asleep.
I put them down and like magic they fall asleep all by themselves. (lucky you!)

My little guy is pretty routine- he takes a morning nap between 9am-11am, another between 2pm-3:30pm and then begins to show signs of sleep around 6:30ish. I have started giving him baths w/massages every other night which seems to help him sleep better through the night- he usually falls asleep with a bottle around 7:45pm and wakes up around 5am for another bottle. He doesn`t always fall back to sleep, but when he does he will sleep until 6:30am.

Naps - either I breastfeed her when she seems drowsy and she falls asleep, or if I`m wearing her she`ll drift off `on her own` (while in whatever carrier she`s in). Bedtime - sometime she falls asleep on my lap, but usually she`s awake until we go to bed (10 or 11), she`ll breastfeed for maybe 5 minutes and then be out. She generally stays asleep until about 5 or 6, wakes up and eats, then is out again until 9 or so. I often get her up to pee at least once overnight, but she doesn't fully wake up for that.

Alex will be 9 months on the 20th. Usually for nap time, I let him go until he shows signs of tiredness and then I take him upstairs and lay him in his crib. He sometimes just falls right to sleep, other time I let him cry a little then he falls asleep, but if he fusses for more then 5 mins, I go up and comfort him until he falls asleep. At bed time, he usually has a bath, bottle, then bed. And if he`s extra fussy Daddy usually rubs his back until he drifts off...

I lay her down with a pacifier, it`s her comfort item otherwise she won`t sleep, then put a blanket over her, although that usually comes off as she rolls around. Make sure u`r LO is full, warm, and has a comfort item, I know they say you shouldn`t have things in their crib due to SIDS, but after a few months, they should be ok, I have several things like blankets and stuffed animals in her crib to keep her company

My little girl does great with naps. I just lay her down and she falls asleep right away. Bedtime is another story. She wakes up pretty often at night. My other two never had a problem with naps or bedtime at this age, but every baby is different. Good luck with yours.

i lay down with her for a few minutes at naptime. naptimes usually correspond with a feeding around here so she usually nurses and then falls asleep. bedtime is still pretty much the same, if she doesnt fall asleep while nursing then i rock her a bit before i put her down. bedtime has become quite a fight for us in the last few weeks. she still wakes up to eat in the middle of the night too.

At nap and bedtime mine still falls asleep while I`m feeding him his milk bottle. Nightime is a nightmare for me. I nurse him only at nighttime, but I have since became his pacifier. As soon as I withdrawl my breast he wakes up searching for it. So as for night timefeeding, my LO is up all night. I need to start giving him bottles at night and stop being so lazy...it`s my fault!

My son does not object when it comes to naptime. I just lay him down and he hangs out and plays for a little bit and then falls asleep when he gets bored. Our bedtime routine is bath at 8:30pm, lotion, 6oz bottle, brush teeth, and lay him down with his fish aquarium and he falls asleep within 10 minutes. Sleeps from 9pm-8am, Nap 10:30am-1pm and another nap from 3:30pm-5pm.

  1. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!
  2. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  3. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  4. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  5. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  6. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  7. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  8. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  9. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  10. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
