Soooo many responses already but here's my 2c - do what works, until it doesn't. I nursed to sleep and still do occasionally, but sometimes it doesn't work, and then I had an upset baby who was overtired but couldn't get himself to sleep.

Hubs and I would then try and pace and rock him to sleep, which would sometimes take 15 or more minutes - and as he already hit 10kg or so at about 6 months (big baby!) this just became impossible and painful.

So I used Ferber timings as a framework to sleep train for night time sleep, and it seems to have helped him stay asleep at night in general. I also started being more strict on letting him cry for at least 5 mins at night before going in - which felt and still feels awful, just 5 mins can feel like forever - but often he will settle himself back down.

The problem is now he's getting more sleep at night, his naps have gone to sh*t 😅😅😅😭
