I’ve gotten mixed advice from friends and family about this. While it seems most couple do it for a period of time, I’m concerned because my husband’s work schedule is such that he often is working unti late in the evening. I’m wondering if frequent wake-ups in the middle of the night are increasingly due to our baby’s anticipating his late arrivals into the bedroom.
Any advice on solutions for this? Is this something that might become permanent or will she adapt to the idea and sleep though the night. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I wanted to share my favorite bedtime routine with you all. My daughter Emilly and I start to “wind down” a good hour or so before my target time by reading one of her nature books. She prefers National Geographic Kids now, but when she was liitle it was My Big Backyard.
The process of relaxing her and getting her mind focused on my stories and the less stimulating things like TV or bright lights and sounds, really helps put her in that sleep-ready zone. Rather than the stereo, we play the “Hush Little Baby” CD in the background for a soothing background ambience. Even at her age now, it works well and it helps cover the sounds of the neighbors or traffic on the busy streets nearby.
