I started during nap time. I didn’t touch the night feedings, and also didn’t do all the naps. Whenever I had the time, I sat with her and helped her fall asleep herself, oxymoron I know! It wasn’t a huge project, just a bit at a time and now she falls asleep in minutes bh! And I still nurse to sleep at night and we cosleep. Just naps she does on her own or when she wakes up before I’m ready to go to bed.
I gave her a pacifier and taught her to hug a soft rag doll because she needed to hold something and kept pulling her paci out. I put her down and kept soothing her with my voice, without picking her up. Choose a mantra and repeat it again and again. I said “good night baby, we’re going to sleep now sshhhh” on repeat. I patted her if she needed it and only picked her up if she was screeching. I even recorded myself saying it and put it on repeat on my phone, so I was able yo leave the room for a minute or two. Bh bh bh a thousand times, it really worked and we have a wonderful schedule now.
