Dropped the rocking .... and no cio !

We have always rocked the boys to sleep but I decided when we moved house and they settled in - it would stop. Elliot had got a bit wriggle in our arms and so we just put him down awake and Lo and behold - he went to sleep! The first couple of times with about 30 secs moaning and now nothing! No crying or anything. I am amazed - thought he was going to be a nightmare!! It's just wonderful! Max is half and half and getting better. Just sharing my fantastic miracle! Thanks for reading.

that's so awesome, hooray for you!!

 

great job, good babies! I feel your joy, we always rocked and bottle fed babies to sleep, once we started to put them down awake, I was terrified, but they are so used to the routine that they are actually looking forward to the crib! I usually hold them for a couple minutes with music, but they would just wiggle and turn towards crib, they just wanted to get the heck out of my arms and lay down, it's soo great!

 

That is fabulous! :banana:

 

SENSATIONAL! :woohoo: :clapping:

 

YAY!!!!!!!

want to come to my house an train my 2 yr olds??

 

I did the same thing around 18 months with my DD. She did cry the first day, but after that, it was awesome! One thing that I think helped was explaining to her that I was going to put her in the crib while she was still awake and that she was supposed to close her eyes and go to sleep. I think she really did understand the process when I explained it to her.
