Does LO take naps in the crib? We started by putting him down for naps in his crib and once he was good at that we started putting him in his crib for night time sleep.

We just did it one night- worked woth no problems!

We had a nightmare of a time doing this transition. I won't go into the gory details, but after weeks of horrible sleep (waking like 8-10x per night), we finally had to sleep train at around 5 months. That worked like a charm.

Start with naps. Use a sleep sack. Does she have a lovey or paci?

Same as @meganmp. We just did it one night. I was super worried because she hated the crib for naps. She's still doesn't take naps very well in her crib, but she does night with no issues. Things that helped me personally but had no impact on her were having an audio only monitor with a lower sensitivity setting so I wasn't waking up with her every peep, having a video monitor that I could turn on when necessary to get a look at her, and the owlet monitor. Because of the owlet, I never go into her room just to check on her, which I thinks help her sleep a lot better. Probably overkill, but it works for us and helps me get sleep.

We srarted with naps, but only did it for one week before doing it at night too. We use a white noise machine and give him an a&a blanket with a pacifier. The only universal trick I think is to stay consistent. If he woke up I would soothe him and put him back in his crib. Sometimes I was waking every 2 hours but now he will sleep through it only wake once. Some kids love things too like a lovey or swaddle, but that doesn't work for everyone.
