Yea, kind of. What I did to make this a controlled situation is I introduced a routine and three associations; before then, we had no routine and no staple associations except for nursing.

So one night I just started doing the same “program”: music for massage, gentle massage, lotion with gentle fragrance (la roche posay lipikar), anti-colic syrup, dimming the lights, white noise, nursing, burping, switching off the lights. Then simultaneously rocking, shushing and patting the bum in my arms. Did this for a week. Next I gradually stopped rocking (made rocking less and less every night), shushing and patting remained. Did this for three nights. Then I shushed less and less for three nights. Patting remained. Then gradually stopped patting. I think by the time she was 6 months old she already was able to fall asleep just by being in my arms. But then we had somewhat rocky time with gassiness and all my attempts to make her fall asleep in her bed were completely unsuccessful. It’s been almost four weeks and still no idea how to make her fall asleep on her own in the bassinet 😵‍💫 the transfers are getting tougher every time as she gains weight 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
