I still lay with my 2.5 year old while she goes to sleep. I doubt she would stay in bed if I left her. She likes me to lay with her when she goes to bed it's actually a really lovely part of the day to chill and cuddle while she drops off x
I’m not really sure how we managed it but from 7mths old we started putting her in her cot in her own room with a toy and a book and she would fall asleep herself. Then we got a Tonie box for her 1st birthdays so she got used to her routine of choosing a tonie to put on and she falls asleep to that now. She’s 2.5 now. She’s never slept in our bed. She asks to go to bed at 7.30pm
I just hand mine a bottle and play brown noise and he goes to sleep, without the bottle probably not lol
My 2 year old falls sleep in our bed and then we move him when he’s asleep. Our 1 year old stays in his crib and goes to sleep on his own with his bottle and/or pacifier. Our 2 year old used to do the same so probably soon my 1 year old will soon start to fall asleep with us and then be moved
