Hi, any advice to teach my baby independent sleeping skills. During the naps he only likes contact napping or sleeping next to me or his dad!

My 10 weeks old was the same up until 6 weeks or so. We found he naps way better on his tummy, so we let him sleep on his tummy during the day and check on him. He still used to fuss and cry for about 30 mins at first, but we wouldn't pick him up, just soothe him in his cot (I think each baby is different with this, ours like being patted on his bum 😅).
So it takes some work but now he started falling asleep without fussing, he just stays awake in his cot until he falls asleep.
