Self settling tips 6 month old

[Nessicle]

My son is 6 months and between naps and night he's a happy pleasant little thing. My problem is he seems to rely on white noise (like his Ewan the dream sheep) to get to sleep which means after every cycle 40-60 mins he wakes and needs it putting back on to get back to sleep.

I need to break this habit. The only reason I started using it was to drown out my noisy toddler during naps and at bed time. Wish I'd never bothered! He's also sharing a room with his sister who is only 2.5 years old so I'm worried the lack of sleep will affect her too.

So I need tips on self settling we do bath bottle bed every other night and bottle bed in between. I always feed him upstairs and put him down awake

I play white noise for my daughter, who is 13 months old, every night. She STTN. I don't think it's necessarily a habit you need to break - white noise is great. A lot of adults use it!

Why not get a white noise machine that plays all night? Here's the one I have. I love it:

We play white noise every night, all night. We put the sound of ocean waves on a CD and play it on repeat. OH loves it.

I've never been a big fan of the dream sheep type things because they are on a timer! White noise is only good if it's consistent.

We have white noise machines going all night for both of my girls. Lots of adults use white noise... Even A fan to help them sleep. Especially if they need help drowning out noise. Not everyone is a heavy sleeper. And it's part of who they are .... Not a learned trait.
