Sleep trained my daughter at 4.5 months with CIO.

Schedule is nap 1-3 PM, Bedtime 8 PM. Wakeup usually no later than 6:00 / 6:30 AM. Daycare so naps are non-negotiable at this point.

She is going through some kind of sleep regression where she is fighting bedtime. And then if we leave the room she gets upset. And we get into this cycle of going into her room, she calms down, then the minute we leave the room she starts crying again. It's been over an hour of this. I really don't want to get stuck lying in her room to get her to sleep because I finish a good amount of my work after she goes to bed.

Is the solution a later bedtime?

Anyone have suggestions for sneakers to wear to work that look “put together?” I wore All Birds before as an example but looking for other suggestions. Thank you!
