Sleep training-ish

Night 1 went ehh but it looks like we’re definitely making progress already!

We started off with ferber but as the night progressed, I began feeding him until he was dozing off but laid him awake, patted his butt, and turned his bedtime story into a song which I whispered to him for about 3 mins. He’s used to bed-sharing and feeding to sleep so putting him in his crib, in his own room, and NOT feeding him to sleep would just be too many changes. I decided to still feed him but not until he’s completely asleep.

Our night went like this if anyone wants to do the same

Bedtime 10 pm

Checked on him in 3-5-7-10... intervals

Sleep 10:50

Woke 12:15

Checked on him in 5-7-10... intervals

Sleep 12:55 (dream feed for about 8 mins)

Woke 2:15

Checked on him in 5-7-10... intervals

Sleep 3:45 (really didn’t wanna feed him again but that’s when I decided to continue to feed because of the amount of changes)

Wake 5:55 (brought him to bed with us because both of us really needed sleep and we were making progress so it was more of a “good job now lets snuggle until wake up”

Wake 9:00

This morning I fed him at 11:45 for 10 mins, laid him awake, did the same ritual to get him to fall asleep BUT only had to sing for a minute or less! He’s been napping for almost 30 mins in his crib, in his own room, without mommy 🥺 No dancing to his white noise this time though 😅

Also, our camera just got delivered!! My mom got it for us without knowing I intended on putting him in his own room!
