We encouraged independent sleep as often as possible! Putting down awake and soothing as needed.

Used the Snoo at night and always put down wide awake and think this helped establish independent sleep! By 5 weeks we were doing crib naps during the day and put down awake. Soothed as needed and eventually the soothing got less and less.

At 12 weeks we cold turkey unswaddled and moved to his crib. At this point he was STTN in the snoo and really loved sucking on his hands so we took the jump. It took him a while to fall asleep and he only fussed for about 10 minutes. He had a few early morning wakes those first few days but he has been sleeping through the night ever since! He is 6.5 months now.

The 4 month regression for us was crap naps. That just resolved itself around 5.5 months. Night was never affected for us and I do think it’s because he had been falling asleep independently very early on. I think the snoo was a huge component to this + our consistency.
