10 month old sleep

[Llmummy]

Hi all, first time posting here but looming for some advice.
I have a 10mo little girl who sleeps well. Sue slept through from 8 weeks and bar the odd sleep regression still does. She self soothes in the night apart from if she has gotten stuck at the top of the cot (she's a very wriggly sleeper!) But even then a quick reset and cuddle for a couple of minutes and she's back. You're all thinking I've got it easy but I'm now questioning myself after a couple of comments.
Currently I rock/cuddle her to sleep. Normally for less than 10 mins and she's fast asleep. I then take her and put her down in her cot. We have a really good bedtime routine and hubby and I are both happy with this. Bath at 6, milk at 630 and chill out time on sofa, 645 into sleeping bag, story then asleep around 7. My worry is should we be getting her to sleep without a cuddle? On the occasion I've put her down before being asleep she's screamed. I'm slightly scared to change anything as she sleeps so well and feel like it works for us. I also hate listening to her cry. Just interested in opinions/advice really.
Sorry for the ramble!

Go with it - it works. She's still a baby. It will naturally move on with steer from you eg. When she's old enough to understand you can lie next to her or, and this is more likely, it will be story, songs, kiss/cuddle and goodnight!

It doesn't seem to be causing any prob at all with her sleep so why would you need to change it? (but I'm nearly at one year with a very poor sleeper and very jealous!)

Please don’t worry! As pp said, if it works for you as a family, there’s no reason to change anything. It doesn’t matter what other people do - every baby and every family are different. You won’t be rocking her to sleep forever. Enjoy it!

You have a baby who sleeps through the night at 10 months - amazing!! As a mum of two non sleepers, I’m very jealous 😂

How you settle your baby to sleep is only a ‘problem’ if it’s actually a problem for you. Don’t worry about what others are doing. Some will doze off in their cots but millions the world over will be rocked/cuddled/fed to sleep and that’s happened for thousands of years.

You will never regret cuddling your baby. She is still SO little. I rocked my DS until he was 3.5 (yep!) which seemed to never end but now he’s 4.5 and I actually miss him falling asleep in my arms. One day she’ll drop off without needing you and it will be bitter sweet.

I feed my 1yo to sleep and have done since she was born. She sleeps through and has done since she was 4 months. I feel very lucky and am enjoying it while it lasts and while it works! You can always adapt and change if needed but no need if it's working for you.

Thanks all for your lovely and reassuring comments. We're going to stay as we are for now and feel very lucky I have a sleeper! Happy Sunday all 🌞

See I read these messages and feel cross with myself as I followed all the advice of trying not to feed or rock to sleep and my nine month old self settles at bedtime and nap time and has done for months but still wakes up 2-3 times per night. I 100% assure you that cuddling your baby to sleep for ten minutes is less painful than being woken up multiple times a night but them being able to go to sleep by themselves at bedtime! So in short I agree with everyone else here - if they’re sleeping well at night and having ok naps (as in they’re happy and not tired, the length and frequency isn’t important), there’s nothing to worry about and enjoy your good sleep. I’m so jealous!

Honestly, if it’s working for you and she’s sleeping well, I wouldn’t stress about changing it. Lots of babies need a cuddle or some comfort to fall asleep, and 10 minutes of rocking sounds pretty minimal. They grow out of these phases naturally, kind of like kids eventually move on from games like geometry dash lite, so I’d just enjoy the routine while it lasts.
