Self-soothing - When is it the right age?

Don’t get into the habit of walking the baby around to put her to sleep. Aadat bohut jaldi par jaa hai aur dayr se jaati hai.

I understand your baby is very little and it’s fine for the first few months, but she needs to learn to fall asleep on her own and to self-soothe.

And I say this from personal experience. My sister’s younger daughter stayed with me in her first 15 months and she would only sleep if either my sister or I walked her to sleep. When she woke up at 2am and then again at 5am, she wanted to be walked back to sleep - she would cry if you didn’t walk her. And then too, it would take ages to get back to sleep. You get super tired walking a baby around for hours!

And whats the solution then? I mean what did you do to avoid that? self soothing?
