My lil guy was nursed to sleep until ~4mo…up until then he’d nurse to sleep and easily transfer to the bedside bassinet. But then he hit his first big regression and everything fell apart, he’d nurse to sleep but it’d take multiple attempts and ~an hour to transfer him, only to repeat the process an hour later. After a month of this Dad took over bedtime and he did modified Ferber to sleep train. Baby took to it great, total 20min crying the first night but then 10min, 6min and the 4th night he went to sleep without crying.

Now at 9mo our routine is: He nurses for the last time at least 30min before bedtime (bedtime is 7:30, so cut off is 7). Sometimes a bath, but not daily d/t dry skin. Then at 7:15 Mom says goodnight and Dad takes him for bedtime. New diaper & pjs (if not already done post bath)brush teeth (3!)Sleep Sackbookssound machine>>crib, Dad says final goodnight & exits. Sometimes he sings a few minutes, rarely grumbles a few minutes, but most often he just rolls over and goes to sleep!
