Any cosleeping/nurse to sleep moms out there with tips on how to get other people to be able to put your baby to sleep? I am about to go back to work and I almost always nurse my 4 m old to sleep. It works well for us 75% of the time, the rest I think he's overtired and I just rock him while holding him really tight. I used to put him in his crib for first stretch, but lately he will wake up twice needing to be rocked or bounced back to sleep, and then within two hours wanting a feeding. Then I can't get him back to crib and he'll spend rest of the night with me. I have been putting him in my bed from the get go and he will have 1 or no wake ups before 1 am.

I will be at work until 11 pm and my husband won't get home weekdays till 945. Bedtime is usually 8 pm. Childcare will be my husband on weekends and two weekdays split between my mom and a babysitter.

Tonight I tried a bottle to sleep but it didn't really work, plus probably a habit I don't need to try to form! I am guessing rocking and singing are the best bets.

Any advice for people who have been there? How do you teach someone else to put him down when you are the only one who's done it?
