Dd1 always did at night, during the day she was happy to cuddle to sleep but at night she would go straight to sleep on her own in the cot. Dd2 and ds had reflux so were a little bit older, dd2 was 4 months and ds was closer to 9 months. we always read stories and have lots of cuddles before bed even from the beginning so it just formed part of their routine.
DD1 just turned 4 and i still do the same as i always have, read a book, cuddle, lay with her till she falls asleep, she doesnt take long. now we dd2 (16mo) we all lay in bed together. then i move dd1 to her bed ( a mattress on the floor by our bed) when they are asleep. i wish they would want to do this forever, but dont know if they will want mummy laying in bed with them when they are 10...or 12...0r 16....but i guess il just do it till they dont want to anymore.
