Getting your baby to sleep better at night....Do you?

Question

Currently struggling with my breastfed daughter. Has not been a good sleeper at all through this sleep regression. I'm still debating on how I want to approach it. Curious what you are planning on doing if you have a baby struggling with sleep? ( I know there are many opinions for each of the options. Personally I think people should do what's best for their family. )

Answer

My daughter sleeps in bed with me. We practice safe sleeping guidelines & she sleeps pretty well.

Honestly, my son went in his own room in his crib at 5 weeks. We were keeping each other up all night when he was in a bassinet in our room. We both sleep SO much better and I have no regrets. He’s 16 weeks and has been sleeping 930-10 ish until 730 ish since 10 weeks. 
You do what works for you. But I really love having him in his own room.

I formula feed so my situation will be a little different but I guess you could say I sleep trained at 8weeks, there were no tears involved in the process I just put a bath in his bedtime routine at night and consistently put him in his bassinet, at first he would do half the night in there and half in bed with me
Now he goes all night in his bassinet with no wake ups from 9pm till 9am, I place him in the bassinet awake and I sit with him until he falls asleep, if he moans a little I'll talk to him and hold his hand which is comforting to him but I dont pick him up (I wound only do this if he was full on crying) 
I also only put him in the bassinet for bedtime, never for naps, he naps in his bouncer, it worked this way for us as he associates the bassinet with night time sleep.
I will probably have to do this again shortly as I am soon making the move from bassinet to crib!

Answer

Not sure which category we fit in. 
We moved him to his room at 10weeks. He got much better at sleep and set his own bedtime around the same time 7:30 pm which we’ve stuck to as much as we possibly can. 
We do a quick bedtime routine - change, lotion, pjs, prayers, bottle in his room (he only eats there before bed), burping and down for the night.  Sometimes he falls asleep during burping sometimes he needs some rocking. We occasionally try putting him in crib awake/drowsy but that usually wakes him up more and prolongs the whole process. 
He generally wakes 1 time for feeding around 3/4am. Sometimes it’s 2 wake ups and sometimes none. He is able to soothe himself back to sleep during the rest of the night wake ups. And now that he’s rolling he wakes up much more frequently as he’s moving all over the place in his sleep. 
He’s up every morning by 6/6:15am for the day.

We had more luck having our baby in his own room. There’s a lot of thrashing he needs to do to get comfy. Plus every noise we made like rolling over woke him up. It was a disaster. Bedsharing was really uncomfortable for me, and the bassinet seemed uncomfortable for him. He doesn’t cry at all, just yells for us through the baby monitor and he trusts us to always come and help him

Answer

Cot in my room. I nurse him to sleep... Keen to hear how others manage to get them to sleep in other ways, or how to get him to self soothe

Answer

Bassinet in our room.
