Tips on putting a 13 month old to bed please
Hi
Well my little one is now 13 months and weighs 10kgs. Up to now I have been nursing and rockign her to sleep in my arms and it has been working fine. It has now come to the point where she is a little too heavy to nurse for long. I will have to start putting her down awake but am nervous that she will cry. I need to read up on this control crying maybe. Just wondering if anyone out there is in the same boat. I have been putting this off for a while now.
Advise please

Her routine goes......................
Bath at 4pm with me or her daddy.......out and dried PJ's on for 445.
Tea at 5.
When she's finished her tea she plays til 6.15.
Then we watch In the Night Garden and she'll have her bedtime milk downstairs.
Goes up to bed between 6.30-6.45. We wait for a 'tired sign' and put her up as soon as she gets tired.
Put her in her cot on her back, she'll sit up, we blow kisses in the room and say 'bye byes' and wave. She'll then wave back (it's sooooooo cute) and we leave.
She then sleeps through til between 6am and 6.45am the next morning.
We moved house 3 months ago, and since moving we did struggle with leaaving her alone in her cot as she used to cry. She was fine at the old house, and always used to go to sleep by herself, but for 3 weeks after we moved here we had problems. Just persevere. We found going up together helped, rather than seperatly, and not getting her out of her cot, as she used to cry when we layed her back down. It only took 3 weeks and a lot of patience and she is now back to how she was.

Kelsie tends to eat what we do. We eat quite healthily most nights. She loves her meat and veg. But does also eat things like pasta, spaghetti shapes, soup, jacket potatoes, vegy bakes. Just asked OH and they only thing we can think of that she doesnt like is lamb and raspberries so far!! She's not a fussy eater, and eats well!!
Eats lots of yoghurts, fruit, rice pudding!!
Drinks diluted baby juice, and smoothies!
