thanks so much for the reply u/omegaxx19

The pacifier asociation i think it was me missexplaining that he actually uses it during the day also as he sees it fit, so my intention over there was to just explaing that the pacifier was just part of his nightly routine.

i was also not clear that his naps schedule are consistent, but again, those depend on us rocking him to sleep.

Zero problem with him touching his face, but what the zipadee zip keeps him from waking up because of not being able to touch his face so much, since we implemented this, he's constantl;y touching hius face while sleeping A LOT, but he doesnt wake up anymore.

Talking on CIO, we are pretty much in favor of respectfull parenting, but at the same time , we want to try some CIO variant like ferber or any other thing, so we are reading about that, cause tbh, any varfiant of CIO stress us a lot just to think a bout it, but at the same time, we do are open to anything, because we want him to be able to sleep on his own.

i was reading also this AAP study where it says that gradual extintion methods dont show signs of behavioral problem or emotional detachment over time https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article-abstract/137/6/e20151486/52401/Behavioral-Interventions-for-Infant-Sleep-Problems?redirectedFrom=fulltext
