You can teach your baby to sleep independently without the need for rocking or holding by following these steps:
- Keep a consistent bedtime routine every night with calm and comforting activities.
- Place your baby in the crib when drowsy but not yet fully asleep.
- Use white noise or a soft lullaby to soothe them.
- Keep sleep training sessions short and gentle. Start by sitting next to the crib, then gradually move away until the baby learns to sleep on their own.
