re: Driving my baby around till he falls asleep

I’m going to be very clear here.

Be very careful with the habits you set with you kids sleeping. They will HAUNT you for.....well hell I really don’t know.

My first kid we used to rock him till he fell asleep. Then we ALWAYS had to rock him to fall asleep. Then we would let him sleep with us. Now he ALWAYS wants to sleep with us. He turned 5 in July. We either A) have to law with him I’m
His bed until he falls asleep. Or B) let him sleep
With us. We could do C) but I guess locking them in their room is frowned upon. But EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. I’m talking 99 out of 100 nights he comes into our room between midnight and 2am.

My youngest. He was in the NICU for a month. I think he got good sleeping habits from there. We kept them up. Now he is 2.5 and I tell him to go to bed and he gets in his bed and every now and then I have to talk to him through his monitor and tell him to laydown and go to sleep and he will.

Two different styles of parenting in dealing with sleep. Equals two different styles of sleeping kids in my house. Maybe it’s just their personalities. Or maybe it’s because of habits we allowed. Either way be careful.
