[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would back up and get them sleeping in the same way individually before combining them. So, start with the little one - you need to get to a place where he’s falling asleep in his bed with the lights off. Get them on the same page with the white noise and the nightlight. Once they’re on the same page in separate rooms, then you can try them together again. [/quote]

Thank you. I think I took ripping the bandaid off too literally ;) ... The nightlight is a bummer - I really think they disrupt sleep so I  loathe to get the little one using it. [/quote]

Try using a red light nightlight or salt lamp. It isnt as disruptive. I also have a noise machine that has a light under it and it has 3 settings (low, variable (it kind of fades and then brightens and then fades x infinity, and off). This may work for you to wean him slowly off a night light but I dont find any of the options I listed as disruptive and I am super sensitive to light at night.

We use red light nightlights in our bathrooms so that they dont stimulate you if you need to use the restroom in the middle of the night and I use the salt lamp to read books. If my son has a particularly tough night winding down we let him play for a bit or read books with the salt lamp on and then turn it down to half strength over the course of 5-10 minutes, [/quote]
