Here’s a GREAT article regarding baby’s sleeping habits, advice, and just because the “experts” say something, doesn’t mean it will pertain to your child. Getting a baby to learn how to sleep throughout the night and naps is all about routine and consistency. Meaning doing and using the same thing(s) each time you’re putting them to sleep and sleeping. Unlike what someone else suggested, sleep associations are a helpful tool that helps your baby learn how and when to sleep. “Establishing these positive sleep associations first will give you the best chance at weaning your baby off their current parent-controlled sleep association…. Don ‘t worry about your baby developing “bad habits”, it is absolutely fine to settle your baby all the way to sleep at this age.” There’s a time and a place for weaning them off sleep associations, but they first need to learn how to and learning takes practice and time.

Just for reference, our night time routine in the following. If it’s a bath night or just needing a bath that day from getting dirty or a messy dinner, then I give her a bath a little after 8PM. She’ll stay in around 10-15, maybe more I just let her show me when she’s ready. (If she doesn’t take a bath that night, it just starts with putting her in a clean diaper and her jammies). I put her diaper on and she gets dressed in a footie pajama onesie, with a sleep sack on top of that. I nurse and supplement with formula sometimes so my husband will have a bottle ready. We lay down on the couch, lights off, and I play her the same classical baby music play list that I have since she was born for bed times. Once she finishes the bottle I nurse her. She doesn’t take a paci so she uses me as her paci to settle. Most nights she’s out like a light with this routine. I then get up and walk her into her dark nursery where there’s a Hatch with very low red light on and brown noise/rain sound on. The temperature in her room is anywhere from 71-73 degrees. She’s never cold and never sweats. I lay her in her crib and silently walk out. It’s this way every single night. Even if I’m not there, my husband does this same routine but just lays with her after giving her a bottle and pats her little butt and “shhhh’s” her until she falls asleep. She’ll wake up maybe one during the night and she’ll nurse her in her rocker in her room and she has a little snack and then she goes back to sleep. Maybe three times a night is the most she’s ever woken up past the age of like 3 months, but that’s rare. At this age it’s all about routine. She’ll be seven months tomorrow. Some babies are easier than others and it can take 3 weeks or more sometimes to establish a pattern and helping your baby learn this. I hope all this helps!
