We let my son self soothe from the day he was born…now at 4 months old I just pop him into his crib, lights off and he knows it’s sleep time. The earlier the better.. for comfort he likes to hold onto a cloth so i just give him one. He plays/sucks it and goes to bed…never give the paci/dummy. We did it with my eldest and had so much broken sleep when it used to fall out.

The trick is that you have to let them cry/winge for a bit. My little brat has been sleeping though since 4 weeks old, mashallah mashallah.

but how long do you let the baby cry? mine was crying for ever…by the time he falls asleep, it is time for his next feeding…and I feel awefull
