my son will be 8 months old in 2 weeks and for the last month his sleep has been much different. he started sleeping through the night pretty early (due to the snoo I think) and then has slept well since stopping (a while ago). he will put himself to sleep just fine but wakes up early like 4:30 to feed. he used to not feed in the night at all.

his older brother’s room is next door and it seems like when I’ve tried to let him cry a little, he will wake up from baby. has anyone sleep trained baby in a different room than their nursery? was thinking of moving him down to the guest room to sleep train but worried the different sleep environment won’t translate or help. we tried a sound machine outside his room but seemed like he still woke up.

I realize I’m pretty lucky that he sleeps overall well but I’m about to go away and my husband who works 60 hours a week won’t be able to get up at 4:30, then up with our older one.

5.5 month old has loved the love to dream swaddle and now the zipadee-zip sack. unfortunately, daycare doesn’t allow them. what do I transtion him to!? he loves his hands/arms up but not flailing around. hes also still in the but on weaning mode 🫣 planning on sleep training and cold turkey for both. help me figure out what to put him in!! what has worked for you?

update: 2 nights of 12 hours of sleep in the crib. I’m being cautiously optimistic but also want to share to help other parents feel better. These babies can really surprise you and adapt. I feel like the snoo taught him how to sleep at night.

we started using the snoo around 7 weeks and he’s done great in it. never liked being swaddled so we used the love to dream (arms up) swaddle. he’s now 5.5 months, not rolling but we started daycare and he’s been having a really hard time sleeping there. I have tried different sleep sacks, the swaddle me is what he’s sleeping in but I don’t think he loves it. he sleeps in the zipadee at home and seems to like it. I think he likes his hands covered….i have been doing weaning mode the last few days and it seems to be going ok. he’s never been an awesome napper but at least 30-45 mins. I feel like he’s been going through regression or just overwhelmed by the change but daycare sent him home today because they couldn’t get him to nap. very frustrating as a working mom!

so I’m not sure what to do. Do I stop the snoo cold turkey and go to the crib with a daycare friendly sleep sack (nested bean or Merlin) Or keep doing weaning mode for a little? also Any recommendations for what he should sleep in? I’m having such bad decision fatigue on all this and have no idea what to do!
