What is your routine?

Question

First night of sleep training. I actually followed what Christina Ps doula said on the Where My Moms At podcast and it worked. Took like 39 mins but no actual crying. Also, she has a brace/harness for hip dysplasia and can’t sleep well on her back with it so that’s why she’s on her stomach.  I don’t like it but it’s either this or she’s going to spend the next 10wks sleeping on my chest. Did her sponge bath (no baths with the harness on 24/7), pjs, breastfed, read a book, and lullabies. What’s your routine?
Update: didn’t work for very long. She woke up after an hour. Didn’t feed her again she just would fall asleep or almost asleep if I picked her up. But then I would lay her back down and she’d be wide awake. How did you ladies deal with the crying?

Answer

Update. Only lasted one hour. Seems she still is most comfortable like this or with a pillow under her with the brace on. We’ll try again tomorrow though.

Answer

I get her in her jammies around 630, get her room ready for bed time - lights off, sound machine/night light on, and I put a heating pad on low to warm her mattress. Then I take her out to the living room and give her her bottle. Lights off, white noise on my phone. Once she finishes her bottle I hold her until she falls asleep. Sometimes it’s immediate or it might take 10ish minutes. Then I walk her into her room, remove the heating pad, and put her down. I’ve been putting her down in her crib between 7 and 730. She has been sleeping with no wake ups since her regression ended consistently until 530-6ish am.

Answer

It might be hard to sleep train her if she’s in actual discomfort from the brace :(. How long does she have to wear it? Poor thing

Answer

Bath (every three nights), diaper, lotion, jammies, sleep sack, nurse, lullaby and rocking, put down awake.

Answer

I bathe him at night and he falls asleep afterwards. So that’s how I was able to train him. Now even if it’s not a bath night he stills falls asleep at or around that time.

Answer

Our routine is book, rock, bed. We do if for all naps and bed times!

Answer

A routine has been much easier the second time around. Little one hangs out in our older daughters room while we wind her down. This consists of.. jammies..lotion.. books then our older daughter goes into her bed. Then little one comes with me to read her own book in her own room in her rocker.. one book.. bottle.. paci goes in then I lay her down. She’s usually drowsy and somewhat awake.. or she’s completely out. Either way she goes into her sleep sack and falls asleep. She will drink 6-8oz at this time and will sleep for 12-13 hours. She sometimes will fuss a little during the night but I have stopped going in there to help her settle. So she will (mostly) fall back asleep on her own. Just do whatever you feel is best! Consistency is key.

Answer

Ok I must find out who this woman is and follow that sleep training

Answer

I wouldn't say we have much of a routine, but he's usually in bed by 10-10.30 and we sleep Train too, but usually every minute we'll go back in and put his dummy back in and a few shhs to tell him I'm still there. 
Also he sleeps on his front, if he slept on his back he'd be up and down all night

Answer

Please please take all that out of the crib. It's very unsafe :(
