What do you mean, not on their own?

Like, you have to rock them or stay in the room with them?

I have to stay in the room with Megan.

I dont have to hold her anymore, thank god, that stopped a while ago, but I cant leave until she is asleep.

Ive tried everything..nightlights, sound machines, teddy bears..now she uses all of that but still needs me in there!

I try not to have contact with her even though some nights she cries.."Mama please give hand" which breaks my heart but I know the first time I do it, its going to become routine.

Sometimes, when we have family over, I wish I was able to just go upstairs, put her in and say goodnight. But it doesnt work that way. It doesnt bother me too much but the nights it takes her a long time, omg drives me nuts then!!

I have to stay with Jacob until he is at least almost falling asleep. He asks me to sing the "Toot, Toot song" which is the Wiggles song about the big red car...its sad that I know ALL of the words Anyway, after I sing it like a million times I kiss him and run out of his room

We were doing great from July to September with John falling asleep on his own for naps and bedtime but after that, things changed. I think it's because of his teething and he got sick with asthma a few times. But we have to nip it in the butt since we are having our DD next Friday! I am hoping to start tonight. Otherwise, we will be in for a rough ride.
