I've gotten babies who are nursed/coslept/rocked to sleep etc to learn to sleep on their own here, it can be done! BUT it's hard and takes a lot longer if the parents doing it. Part time is way worse. What I do is make sure a new nap routine is established here. Like my newest 12 month old, she knows our routine is play, lunch, nap. After lunch it's quick snuggles, goodnight, laid down in pnp, sound machine on. Ever day. The consistent routine here helped a ton. Then if she woke up and started really crying I'd go over and say shh sleep time and turn the white noise machine back on and she'd go back to sleep. If mom is willing one of those machines could be used at home easily, no matter what her sleep routine there is like and it could be something that's the same at both places. I do use cio as well. It takes time but they will most likely eventually get it and sleep longer but it's hard!
