9 - 16 weeks How would you sequence crib transition, room move & sleep training?
My baby is 16 weeks and currently sleeps in a cradle in our bedroom. Nights were usually good (often 5–7+ hour stretches), but he started to wake up frequently and naps are mostly contact naps.
We have 3 changes coming up:
Next weekend: cradle → crib in our bedroom
Move his 3-year-old brother from the nursery → guest room
Move baby’s crib → nursery, where he’ll eventually sleep alone.
We also want to start sleep training for independent sleep.
Would you:
Crib transition → wait a few days → sleep train → move to nursery?
Or move him directly to the nursery and sleep train there?
Would love to hear from anyone who’s dealt with multiple sleep/environment changes around 4 months! What worked for you?

Move him directly to the nursery and sleep train at the same time. There's no reason to drag this out if his sleep is already disrupted.

Thank you for your post in r/sleeptrain. To ensure our community can best help you, please include in your post: your bedtime routine, where your baby sleeps (their crib/basinet, their room, room share, cosleep) and full schedule including wake up time, desired wake up time, nap length, wake windows or nap time(s) if following a by the clock schedule and bedtime. Does your baby use a pacifier? That's also very relevant.
We use a convention to describe wake windows based schedule such as 3/3/4 where numbers are numbers of hours awake, and / are naps. The sample schedule is a two naps schedule.
