At what age do babies sleep on their own

Some kids starts as they start gong to school and some kids start late......you can try once in a week first to make your baby sleep by her own by just lying with your baby....it will be difficult initially but you can try..... Sing some or or tell some story so that baby can enjoy....

 

My dd got trained to sleeping on her own from 5 months . pediatrician suggested to keep a dark and silent room environment every night. I followed the same she got used to it very easily. Now she s four yr old. She doesn't need any action to make her go to sleep

 

Hello,

she insists because she likes it. She isn't about to stop automatically. You need to let her learn it. It is especially important for babies to sleep uninterrupted as it is hugely beneficial for their brain development.

About a week after we started sleep training, my dd turned into a completely changed, happy child. I recommend the baby whisperer's technique. Do look it up online.

Since my dd had various health problems the first 6-7 months, we sleep trained her only when she was 8.5 mo. It was a huge battle with all of us weeping and the baby wailing. However the struggle was worth it. IMO it would have been much easier if I had done the sleep training before she learnt to sit and stand holding the railings on her cot. So, it is the right time for you to start.

Good luck.

ps: I had written some pointers in these threads perhaps you would find them useful

By 5 1\2 month ,we started to train him. We switched the light off and slept with him. Starting he used to roll here and there then after some time he started to sleep on his own.
P.s : I never used cradle for him from the beginning.

 

my kids slept around 16 months whole night! If I lie near them,then they started sleeping on their own around 11 months..sorry if it did not help u but understand this time flies very very fast before u even know!



Other than that u can try sleep training.It works if u r emotionally strong.It worked for me BUT once I went for a vacation and they slept with me and that's it! back to square one!but u keep trying again it definetly works!Although never start sleep training before 7 months.


I have twins so u can imagine how it must have been) if this seems a bit consoling to u but life is so good now.so no worries.

My baby slept better as a newborn. Since her 5th month, she started to fuss to sleep and I can see day by day, she fusses more and cries when she is being put to sleep. I read the posts by guesshoo but scared to try it. Yesterday I put my little one in the crib and she cried soooo much. I spend so much time to put her to sleep that it tests my patience. I bring her midnight to sleep next to me (she's already in her sleep but wakes up tossing and turning out of habit, and that's when I bring her to my bed and she comfort sucks herself to sleep)
ladies I know the solution but need some support. Should I stop bringing her to my bed. At the moment she doesn't cry to sleep with me...it's my guilt that does that. The problem I have is she cries when she is being rocked or put to sleep in the first place.
