- When 730pm rolls around, Ava is in the bath
- She gets pjs, hair brushing, and a bedtime story (or five if Justin is doing bedtime that night)
- Justin and I tell her to get in bed, and she does it
- We give her kisses, crack her door and walk away
- She stays in bed and falls asleep throughout the entire night
Hearing her cry wasn't fun at all, but Justin and I camped out in her room for several days to make sure she was as comfortable as possible. After a solid week of this, she slept in her toddler bed just fine. I was a little nervous about all of this when changing things up was just an idea because Ava has always been a good sleeper with nursing and co-sleeping. Removing those two security blankets, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The result is better than we could have hoped for. We have an independent toddler that puts herself to bed at night, and lays herself down for naps.
It works so well for our family, our schedule, and solid alone time with the husband. So there you have it, a little overview to our success! How many of my mama's have their own sleep schedule that gave them sleep success? How long did it take for your little one to get on board? Leave your stories in the comments below, or shoot me an email!
Happy Tuesday all!
