Bedtime Routine
Hi folks, were just after some advice on bedtime routine. Our Joshua is 15 weeks old and we have no problems getting him to sleep of an evening. We feed him around 6:30 and he will then cuddle to sleep to go down around 7. However, we have read that come 5 - 6 months they can get very manipulative (for want of a better word) and have been told that we should look to have him falling to sleep on his own so that he doesn't insist on being cuddled to sleep every night in the long run.
Has anyone else had problems with their LO's getting too clingy at night and not settling down on their own? Anyone got any good tips on how to implement a routine where they settle themselves the final bit to sleep? Have I read something very silly and am worrying about nothing?
Cheers folks

I don't think that a little cuddle before putting them down spoils them especially as your LO is still so young, but try to put him down half asleep so that he learns to settle himself, I did find that the more fuss I made before he was put down the longer it took him to settle.
Good luck.
