My son will not go into his crib awake without crying so putting him in his crib when he is tired and awake is very stressful for both of us. His sister can be put down while she is awake and will usually fall asleep with her paci. I nurse the twins and my son usually falls asleep at the breast. How can I avoid the cry it out method but train my son to be a good sleeper? Currently he goes to bed around 8 and wakes up around 6 hours later for another nursing session. I must admit that I often take him into bed with me just to get him to sleep. My current routine is to wait until I see signs of tired. I take the twins into the nursery, change into pjs, read one book and give a bottle(they get one bottle of formula each night). The bottle usually sends them to sleep but my son wakes up nightly as soon as his head hits the mattress. I feel that I have created this sleep issue and don't feel right about making him cry it out. I would appreciate any help! I am the mom of 61/2 month old twins.

Kids do much better with pictures and SchKIDules makes all sorts of personalized pictures schedules for kids of all ages. Not only are the great for getting through the morning and night time routines, but the help reduce tantrums and repetitive questions.

Establishing a bedtime routine is very important because children hate changes. Explain what it is up front helps too. Awesome post!

I always like to know what other folks' routines are like. I agree on the nursing to sleep being so easy, and it's not a forever thing! Thanks for sharing!
