I assume I made a mistake?
With my first child I made the mistake of tippy toeing around while he was asleep. Luckily, my aunt informed me of my error early enough on and my son, presently at 9 is a pretty deep sleeper.
My second child, I think I may have royally screwed up here because since the daylight she was born she's been rocked to sleep with music on. Then as she sleeps, the music stays on until we dance to bed. Tonight I tried turning the music off after she was asleep and she was up inwardly 5 minutes. I did that tonight twice. The music is back on now and she's sleeping soundly.
So my question, how much of a curse is what I've done? Will she other need white noise to sleep now? I've specified adults that couldn't fall asleep without something in the environment ... is that a curse?
I think she'll simply grow out of it, I mean I know plenty of adults as well who sleep beside some amount of noise on, I don't see it as a horrible thing. If it helps her, shift with it, no reason to wake a sleeping child :)
honestly I don't think it's a mistake. You just created a routine and a sleeping environment. At least you in a minute know what is required of her for her to go to sleep. I would love to have that one thing that would put her to bed, okay other than nursing. A lot of mothers leave the baby's mobile on while they sleep. If this is screwing up royally, you're doing great :)
You haven't messed up!
Until I be about 10, I couldn't or wouldn't go to sleep unless my bedroom light be switched ON.
It wasn't because I was afraid of the dark, that was only how I preferred going to sleep for some reason.
Then one day the lightbulb ran out (or perchance mom and dad deliberately swapped it for a used one..!) and I had to go a few night of sleeping in the dark until they replaced it.
Sure enough I be then happy to continue sleeping contained by the dark.
My point is, kids can always adapt to changeover, although it may take a little while :-)
My baby have always slept with a fan on, but so enjoy I. Maybe try to transition to a fan one night by playing the music and the fan, subsequent might play the music til she is asleep and then turn off the music, just departing the fan on. Maybe you could taper her off the fan even by following that sort of model?
Good luck!
You didn't crinkle...I personally think it's a great thing that you play music for your toddler. Music is excellent for the baby's developing brain. Since all baby's have different temperaments and personality, their sensitivity to sounds are probably just due to their developing personalities. =)
My son is resembling that, white noise helps him sleep too. Try a box fan, if the radio bothers you.
Don't be so hard on yourself! It's not a doomed to failure thing, she will grow out of it, and if not.. well at most minuscule she'll know how to sleep at night.
When I was younger I couldn't fall asleep minus the TV on and whenever the sleep timer would shut it off I would wake right back up and gross my mom turn it back on.. lol but now I still have to spatter asleep with the TV on I just don't wake up when the sleep timer shuts it sour now. When she gets older try getting her a stereo near a sleep timer on it so she can slowly grow out of it if its bothering you.
LOL!! YOu sound resembling me! My daughter is only 9 months and I realized that the music every night would probably second forever with her if I didn't start it now. I played it to help muffle the rest of the house when she go down...my 4 year old can be a bit rambunctious!!
I haven't turned it on the last few nights and she seem fine.
What about turning the volume down a little bit every night until you give notice it off all together??
I would slowly wean her off it. I don't know just about needing it to fall asleep as an adult...but what more or less sleepovers and stuff when she's older? How will she sleep then??
Just a thought!!
Good luck!
Answers: U can ween her off of it slowly... For right now the music is fine...but slowly turn the music down lower and lower each week and eventually she will be fine lacking noise... The music just distracts her mind from wandering and getting bored. As she gets elder she can move around and tire herself out. No curse. She is fine.
take one for the team and just permit her get used to no music as much as the screaming me keep you up all darkness
