Moms who have sleep trained

Hey, so I eliminated a middle of the night bottle from my baby around 4 or 5 months and added into his day time feeding so not sure if it’ll be same but here’s what I did…
I made his routine strict and consistent until he caught on which was only about a week. I start his bed time routine one hour before bed which is a bath, then a little massage while putting on lotion and lastly a bottle. The bath whines him down so much I have to keep him woke to finish the bottle sometimes. I did everything at the exact same time for a week and when he would wake up in the middle of the night I give him his pacifier and just shush for a minute, I started using a sound machine a couple months ago and it’s great. The first few nights might be rough since their used to the bottle but it didn’t take long to break the habit. And I don’t always give him a bath every night still but it doesn’t affect his sleep. I know that was long but hopefully it helped.

thank you that’s really helpful! When you’d put him back down in the middle of the night did you just let him cry it out until he fell back asleep?

His pacifier typically soothes him so he didn’t really cry but if he did I let him stay in the crib because the one time I took him out to hold him he woke woke up

okay yeah me too, every time I try and talk to him or shush him it just ramps him up. He won’t take a pacifier though so I’ll see how it goes without! Thanks for your help (:

Glad to help! The sound machine might be helpful if a pacifier doesn’t work
