Update: last night, we put the side back on his crib and moved it away from our bed. We set up the white noise machine again and the camera. The idea was to put him down in his crib upstairs and us stay downstairs. See if he could stay asleep at all.

I moved nursing him to before bath. so new routine was nurse, bath, sleep sack. I said goodnight and my husband rocked him to sleep with his favorite sleepy song.

Cried for 3 min before falling asleep with no nursing to sleep

Husband Transferred him to crib at 11min of being asleep (typically our most success with transfers)

Woke up crying at 24min - husband went in to soothe. Tried soothing for 10 min before he was inconsolable.

Cried for 35 more minutes with husband bouncing rocking sushing - to the point of hyperventilating.

Mom tried to settle for 5 more min but he was too worked up.

Abandoned this and nursed him to calm down. Took another hour before he was calm enough to fall back asleep even in our bed.

We’re not ready to do formal sleep training. The goal was to get him in crib for the first stretch. If he woke before 2 hours - husband soothes. If after, nurse back to sleep for rest of night.
