What is your process for putting your baby/toddler to sleep?

Im rocking him (17 months) for about 15 mins after his milk and then he goes down. When should that stop? Curious to know what other moms are doing.

Sleep?

I was holding out hope for a love to dream swaddle up...I've been holding baby for a month to sleep. Of course I still need to settle him to sleep. He lasted 20 seconds in the cot now, when he seemed asleep in my arms. Help - how to settle and how to put him down? I'm tired.

Thoughts?

Why is it okay for adults to sleep together and have companionship at night but we expect babies to sleep alone in a bassinet or crib. Why is it okay for even some animals to sleep near each other too. Are we denying a basic human response because it’s what society expects or tells us.

She eventually will go to sleep but we’re talking like 10-11pm at night and it’s debilitating especially having to get up for work the...

If we have a busy day and we are out and about he will sleep the whole time but if we are home he will stay awake for hours and hours and only have about and hours nap all day. ...

Nap fighting

My 11 month old had a 20 minute nap at 10 am refused to go back down and finally fell asleep at 4pm. Bedtime is 7 but should I just let her sleep? How can I help this. She normally wakes up around 7am

Very late bedtime

My 17 month old has 1 nap a day but naps late like 2.30-3pm and this can be 2 hours or less. She does wake up at 9.30am but then doesn’t want to go to bed until 10.30-11pm I don’t mind it but just wondering if anyone else’s little one is the same? Should I change to try and get an earlier bed time ?
