My 22 month old son has never been a good sleeper. We go through stages of better and worse. After a period where bedtimes were slipping back to 9 or 9:30, we made a bunch of changes to our bedtime routine, and he's consistently...

Forgive me, this is kinda long... We're in the midst of nightweaning our 18 month old. It's going pretty well - he hasn't nursed at night since October 20th. But during that time he spent four nights with his grandma and grandpa,...

DS is 17 months old. Most of the time, bedtime is great - we follow our routine and can then just lie DS down in his bed and he falls asleep on his own. That part is wonderful! But he's still waking frequently throughout the night,...

One night my baby woke up around 2 am. I nursed him. My husband and I took turns walking him. We restarted his bedtime ritual. We nursed some more. We walked some more. We listened to music. Nothing helped - he was wide awake. So...

Right around that age, my son stopped being willing to nurse to sleep. He'd nurse, then pop off, seemingly excited and refreshed. We did the whole thing OP describes about letting him play some more and trying again later, but he was...

Surprisingly, reading this has made me realize that I'm actually pretty pleased with all of the choices we've made about DS's first year. I do regret that we let the nurses take DS to the nursery for baths and tests without one of us...

DS has recently stopped nurse to sleep - he needs to be walked down instead. DH is much better at that than I am, so for a while he was the one putting DS to sleep every night. I've just figured out a trick that works for me, so I'm...
