Train the infant to go to sleep after being put down in the bed. You’ll thank me later
I tried this. My wife was tremendously offended by the idea of not rocking her babies to sleep.

My advice is as soon as you think you got it in hand, you make a noise, kid is awake and back to zero. Go as slow as possible!

Yes. In winter time put a heating pad in there on low. Move it right before putting the infant down.

Put them down and leave them be. Barring something wrong with them (i.e. sickness, hunger, diaper) they should tire themselves out and fall asleep. And I’m not saying it’s easy to sit there while your infant screams bloody murder. But they’ll eventually figure out how to fall asleep. And if you cater too much to doing it a certain way that requires extra shite (like rocking or driving around until they are asleep), they will get accustomed to needing that ans only be able to fall asleep in that way.
This is great advice! I had four kids and have handled 13 grandkids so far. This works!

Put them in the crib and let them go to sleep on their own, even if they're crying... don't baby the baby.
It's painful because a parent's emotions drive them to cuddle them. Put them in their crib, in their room when they come home from the hospital. Babies are way tougher than they should be, and they'll figure the wake/sleep schedule out on their own.
It'll be painful to listen to them cry until they figure out the schedule, but it'll work and will make your life raising kids much, much easier. Babies and toddlers operate much better if they get a ton iof sleep.
Unless you have one with colic. That's a bitch. Pediatrician was no help. Finally went to an ENT and tubes in their ears fixed that for us.

I hear you about the “fast” thing. It’s so crazy that she is already almost 5 months and it breaks my heart a little to see her grow
This is so real. I didn’t want my kid to get teeth because his gummy little smile was so cute and it was how I knew him. Turns out he’s still cute with teeth. Just trying to enjoy every moment since every parent I’ve ever talked to said it goes by fast.

Scruffy’s daughter didn’t sleep the full night until she was about 1.5 years. Sometimes it doesn’t matter what you try. She would wake up every time we tried to put her in the crib.
Aren’t you a PEM doc? The irony of a pediatrician struggling with their kid is not lost on me. It’s an impossible endeavor sometimes

You get better with reps

Put them down and walk away.
It's ok to let them cry without a response.
Responding to them everytime they cry and fuss instills bad habits.

Sounds good til they get the startle reflex and never stay asleep when you put them down, or when they get old enough for that to not work

Wait till she get older and falls asleep in the bed with you and your wife...

The secret is putting them down before they are asleep so they get familiar with the process. Letting them fall asleep in your arms at bedtime creates bad habits.

Every child is different. Sleep is a biological process. Some are able to sleep through the night at 7 weeks old and others closer to 3 years old.

All 3 of mine were exactly the same at bed time. Same for my nieces and nephews. Not to mention there are many books out there on the subject. "In general," it is all about creating a recognizable bedtime routine for the baby. Babies that are put down after falling asleep have much higher rates of waking up during the night, too.

did the schedule and never had an issue getting any of ours to sleep

These infant wraps were a complete game changer for putting our infants down for the night.it gives them that sense of being in the womb.
It used to wig me out just how tight you need to wrap them, but it worked every single time.

Would love some feedback here. Our youngest is a month away from turning 3. When she was in the crib we really didn't have many problems, when she was old enough she'd just sleep straight on through the night and it was awesome. Once she got big/old enough to where she could almost climb out of the crib we put her in a little kid's bed which has been a major pain. For starters she wants someone to lay with her while she goes to sleep, and the whole "just let her cry it out" thing doesn't work because she can just get out of bed. So we'll lay with her til she sleeps which lasts about 3 or 4 hours, then without fail around midnight every night she'll wake up then want to get into our bed. We're going crazy. Any tips on what to do?
Our oldest we followed the same crib --> kid's bed pattern and didn't have a problem at all. He loved having his own bed and we didn't have one bit of trouble wiht the transition.
