I have a 3.5 yr old and almost 2 yr old. Currently, they are held or sat with until they fall asleep. This is usually a long process.

I would really like to change it. We have had some success over last few weeks, individually (one or other in bedroom with a parent just being present but not active), but when it comes to getting both to sleep in their room at the same time it is much harder.

dh is a shift worker, so i am often doing nights by myself, and i have #3 coming soon.

Anybody else parent their kids to sleep into toddler/preschool age and then transition them to independent falling asleep?
