Train the infant to go to sleep after being put down in the bed. You’ll thank me later


I tried this. My wife was tremendously offended by the idea of not rocking her babies to sleep.

My advice is as soon as you think you got it in hand, you make a noise, kid is awake and back to zero. Go as slow as possible!

Any tips?

Yes. In winter time put a heating pad in there on low. Move it right before putting the infant down.

Put them down and leave them be. Barring something wrong with them (i.e. sickness, hunger, diaper) they should tire themselves out and fall asleep. And I’m not saying it’s easy to sit there while your infant screams bloody murder. But they’ll eventually figure out how to fall asleep. And if you cater too much to doing it a certain way that requires extra shite (like rocking or driving around until they are asleep), they will get accustomed to needing that ans only be able to fall asleep in that way.

This is great advice! I had four kids and have handled 13 grandkids so far. This works!
