Putting Toddler to Sleep Question to 'No Cry' Moms

Hi Moms, This question goes out to 'No Cry' Moms. I would like to know how/when you transitioned your toddler to going to sleep on their own. The easiest way for me to get my little one down to sleep is by holding him in my arms and walking him back and forth in a room (it takes me about 3 minutes to get him to sleep). In situations when I am too tired to walk him, I lay down and in his own time he lays down next to me and falls asleep (this can take a 1/2 hour or so). My husband thinks my little guy is too old for me to walk him to...

Montessori/Attachment Parenting Sleeping Routines for My 9-Month-old Baby Boy

Dressing Infant at Night

Hi Mommies! I have a 7 month old DS. We live in North Texas, so summers get pretty hot. We would like to keep his room around 75 or 76 but I'm not sure how to dress him. It seems like a onesie and socks should be good, but somehow I feel like he should have a cover on (like a light weight sleep sack) or something. but then that seems too hot. Right now he's in a light weight sleep sack with a onesie and it's more like 73. But he sweats when he's in my arms and seems pretty warm when I pick him up in the middle of the night. How...
