Best time to put 6month old baby down. We’ve tried the sleepy but awake approach but not going great. Stick to a schedule, have a good bedtime routine.

Trying to play around with should we put down when the sock says calm, drifting off to sleep, or restful sleep and then wait like 153ins once in restful sleep. Idk bedtime has turned into a 2-3hr marathon sometimes it feels like. When she wakes I try to let her self settle, then move to patting butt and offer pacey, then pop her back on boob if that doesn’t work.

Breastfed and falls asleep feed no matter what I do but once she’s down in the bassinet usually wakes up several times and resets take around 30+ mins ….

Also she wears a sleep sack, room is around 70, sound machine, blackout curtains all that jazz.

Any tips :grimacing::woozy_face:

What happens if you just nurse her to sleep? Does she get more sleep that way? Someone on Reddit said nursing is a superpower and most women don’t take advantage of it. My baby would fall asleep while eating all the time. I just gave in to the nursing to sleep and then she grew out of it. I try to do one nap a day in her crib and if it only lasts 30 minutes I take her out and nurse her until she falls asleep and I just sit with her cuz I know this won’t be forever and I’m really going to miss it some day. I have also had some luck with the eat play sleep.

I know it’s not recommended, but I gave her a small stuffy to rub her face on because she doesn’t take a paci and it really brings her comfort when she is falling asleep.
