My baby is 5.5 months old & I really need to transition him to his crib at night so I can sleep better. He generally goes to bed at 7 & wakes at a little after 6. Wake windows are 3/3/4 though last window can be longer if afternoon nap is shorter. I cap total naptime to 3 hours but he usually averages 2.5. He’s been napping in his crib during the daytime since about 3.5 months. He sleeps in a pack n play in our room at night & still wakes 1-2 times a night to feed.

He isn’t sleep trained & I am afraid we have a feed to sleep association. I have just laid him down when he’s wide awake after his last bottle & he puts himself to sleep in 10 min. Problem is more often than not he’ll fall asleep during the bottle.

Can I sleep train & make the crib transition at the same time? I’m thinking about doing Ferber. I have kind of done the chair method when he’s still awake after his last bottle (I lay him down then I lay down in bed or get ready for bed in our bathroom).

I know I need to get rid of the feed to sleep & wean night feeds. I’ve tried to schedule the last bottle earlier in our routine & have my husband do it while I get everything ready for bed but he ends up crying & I finish the bottle when I take him to bed.

Sorry for the long post but big question is would you recommend crib transition & sleep training plus weaning night feeds at the same time or take a stepwise approach?
