[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Change the order you do things.  First feed, then waketime, then lay baby down for their nap while they’re still awak.  This worked with all three of time after a short training period.[/quote]

This always seemed insane to me.  Feed a baby (so it’s asleep now).  Then wake it up!   That’s how to make a good sleeper!   I could never wake a sleeping baby just because “They” said it was the wrong time to be asleep.  [/quote]

It worked great for us. For one thing, you're trying to keep the baby awake during nursing. The baby is not asleep. Early on that was great because it ensured a full feed. Then you do awake time, then swaddle and rock to drowsy, then transfer. Of course we went through the witching hour and occasional holding for naps out of exhaustion/desperation, but for the most part we got an independent sleeper very quickly. That made night feeds much faster/easier and "sleep training" a breeze - we barely had to do anything.  [/quote]
