On second thought we didn’t do NOTHING… ⬇️ My 3rd baby bed shared since birth and pretty much

Описание: On second thought we didn’t do NOTHING… ⬇️

My 3rd baby bed shared since birth and pretty much exclusively contact naps. Now she sleeps on her own at night (most of the time). Here’s what we really did, besides just waiting and trusting:

ruled out/ addressed any red flags (she had low ferritin in infancy so we supplemented with iron!)

created a safe and cozy sleep environment, never using the bedroom as a battleground or place for punishments or stress

worked with her temperament and sensory preferences to be sure she had enough stimulation before bed

worked out the nap and bed time that worked for her to be sure sleep pressure was just right

introduced a floor bed and started putting her down in her own room at bedtime starting around 9 months old

have a predictable, connected bedtime routine (bath books and snuggles to sleep)

still lay with her until she falls asleep

We are so proud of her and still secretly love the nights she comes to our bed in the wee hours, because it’s not forever 💞
