Like a charm, three for three. No night feedings past 12 weeks for any of the three. Longest “cry it out” period of the three was three nights (because all were comfortably at a single feeding by then, and used to falling back asleep on their own after more-minor sleep interruptions) All slept great—and as long as medical professionals say they should, which is a thing we notice most other young kids in our circle not coming even close to doing—until old enough to start worrying about death and stuff like that, which—yeah, same here, kid.
[edit] and actually the whole rest of this holds without capping it with that action, it just means you’ll need to keep up the shift thing for 6-12 months instead of 3, and—from what I’ve seen—deal with a couple nights a week of your kid waking up in the middle of the night the whole rest of their early childhood. The shift-sleeping strategy has no bearing on that, but does get you a couple REM cycles a night, even in the worst of it.
