tips for adjusting bub to others settling to sleep

[~TT40~]

hope my title makes sense...
basically I am after all tips and advice on how to transition Spock (as gently as possible) to her accepting others to put her to sleep at night.
I'm going back to work and it will include some evening work.
Currently our routine is: she has a bath with one of us. has a nudie run around, I put hee in her pjs and night nappy. she then has a bit more of a play, and when she starts showing she is tired I take her to her room and bf her to sleep. then tf her to her cot. this can take on average an hour.....
currently she gets upset if anyone else holds her during this time, but basically because im the only one who has done it so far as she is aware she can only settle to sleep with me (what I think anyway)
so please any tips, advice, routine plans, how long should we try something before we try something new?
tia!!

Sometimes the best thing is for the other person to try something completely different to what you do what(especially if it is breastfeeding since that is basically impossible to replicate lol) so they don't think of it as inferior to mum but a whole new separate thing. Id also try removing yourself completely, say go for a walk around the block while they attempt.

Mine are both feed to sleepers but became rockable by others without tears which was important to me. Once I was not there they became very receptive to alternatives although I stayed close while we initially tried just in case lol.

Will you be getting whoever looks after her some EBM to give her? If so they could feed her to sleep. You'd be surprised how well they adjust to someone else putting them to sleep when you are to there. Might take longer the first time but will get easier. Could have a trial run where you say goodbye and go and sit in the car for a bit? Then can return to replan if its not working.

My mum put my DS2 to sleep a few times with minimal distress (to all concerned) I also fed to sleep and was the only person who did the sleep routine. She offered water in a sippy cup and just rocked/cuddled until he fell asleep. He seemed to understand that I wasn't available iykwim.

thanks girls. is it worth me still giving her a bf before hand? or avoid it completely? I could easily make sure there is a bottle of ebm there but we have never had any luck with her ever taking any.

We slowly introduced dh into the routine. I still bf as much as I can and then leave ebm or formula there in case. If I was there DS would fuss until I grabbed him, however when it's just the 2 of them he has much more success. So perhaps make yourself scarce and see what happens. Good luck!
