We're doing the cry it out. Even on the first night he cried way less than when I bounce him. Turns out maybe he just wanted me to fk off all along hahaha. It's been 6 days now including an overnight trip. Tonight it only took 3 minutes for little buddy to put himself to sleep. I'm glad as hell that he's empowered to do this on his own, and repeatedly get back to sleep throughout the night as well. I'm getting way more sleep as well, can't complain!
Next challenge, figuring out sleep training for the naps.

Once they associate certain activities with "sleep", naps become easier. I ended up spending like $100 on blackout curtains though because she wouldn't nap in a somewhat lit room.
Also, one thing to remember, there will be sleep regressions. Don't panic because in 2 weeks it all seems like it's falling apart again, they come and go. It's not a switch you flip, it's like a year long process lol
