Looking for advice for our after work and daycare routine. I am a FTM with an 8 month old who could sleep through the night and fall asleep on his own before I went back to work at 5 months and now cannot. I’m sure teething and an onslaught of daycare viruses are to blame, but I am struggling with our nighttime routine. Currently we pick him up at 4-4:30, we try to have family dinner as early as we can (5 or 5:30), then we play for a little bit and give him a bath around 6:30. I get him in his pajamas and then nurse him and he always falls asleep while nursing so I am no longer putting him down awake. He is really tired after daycare because he is a FOMO baby who hates naps (even at home). He will then wake up 5-6 times a night and scream cry until we rock him to sleep. I usually don’t nurse him at night unless he seems to be in excruciating teething pain.

Currently my husband and I are in survival mode like when he was a newborn. I’ve read that while teething or sick you shouldn’t sleep train, but he has been teething or sick for 3 months straight.

Any advice is welcome! The reason I posted here is because the time interval between getting home for work/daycare and fitting it all in is so condensed. We were able to do it when I wasn’t working and when ha wasn’t eating solids yet. Wondering what works for everyone. Thanks!
