Re: I can't lay with them to sleep anymore. Now what?
when i need to get an older toddler to sleep without me, i do sort of a slow transition. first i just sit by there bed, for a few minutes, and then do the "i'll be right back" thing, leave for like 30 seconds the first time and gradually stretch it out. so i will leave and come back like 2 or 3 times then sit in there till they fall asleep. after they are used to me being gone for a few minutes then i will stretch it out longer, or start transitioning to what katigre said.
bbl with more, little one is starting to fuss

How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?How long will you hide your face from me? 2 How long must I take counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?....because I am shaken. 5 But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. 6 I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
