Is it okay to let my toddler fall asleep to music?
Little ones sometimes like to have some sort of distracting sound or music on while they fall asleep. Know, though, that this can become a habit. The possible issue with it is if she wakes during the night and cannot get back to sleep because the music is off (since she is so used to having it one when she falls asleep at bedtime). One thing you can do is have the music on but with a very low volume so that they can barely hear it. You might also consider having music but not every night to make sure she is able to fall asleep on her own without music. This will take practice, but over time she will get the hang of it.
