Bedtime Routine

I need help!

My daughter will be 11 months in a few days and I’ve decided to start sleep training (Ferber method).

As of right now she takes a bottle at bedtime and falls asleep immediately after in my arms and is waking 4-5 times at night and won’t settle back down unless she is nursed.

I want to change up her bedtime routine so she doesn’t have her bottle right before falling asleep.

Right now this is her schedule :

Dinner at 5:30

Bath every other night at 6

In her room at 6:15 - brush teeth, diaper change, into her pjs, read a couple books, white noise machine on and then she has a bottle while I sing her a couple songs. Then she’s asleep in my arms around 6:45 and I put her into her crib.

Usually she will sleep until 10;30ish and then she’ll wake and want to be nursed.

I doubt she actually needs the feed since her weight is normal, and she has a 5-6oz bottle right before sleep and she’s usually asleep 10mins into the nursing session.

Lately she’s been waking up at 8:45, 9:30, 10:30, 12, 2am, and then up for the day at 7:15

I’m exhausted and Since I’m the only one that handles her during the night, I’m ready to sleep train.

How would you change up her bedtime routine?
