Self soothe

Honestly do not pressure on yourself!! 4 months is so super early but I was in the same boat as you with feeling pressured! My little one is 9 months and I feel she started falling asleep in the cot on her own with my help patting/shushing around 5-6 months. And we’re so so close to her falling asleep independently now, they’ll all do it in their own time don’t worry x

They’re 4 months old, they want there mummy!

Girl please do not worry! You’ve got plenty of time, and every baba is different so what works for one may not work for another

My girl is nearly 2 and I’m still rocking her to sleep 😂😂😂😂 x

Omg I hate when I see this online!
They're literal babies, they've only known you to help them soothe and put them to sleep.
All the effort and help you put into them now, will help them in their future.
Please don't fall for these social media nonsense 💓

Agree we the other comments. We need to stop pressuring parents about that. 4 months is so so young, and especially if he’s going through a sleep regression right now, it might not be the time to change more things :)

Mines 5 and half months still needs rocking/feeding to sleep ignore the things you see on line your baby has their own time line they will self soothe and settle when they’re ready don’t put unnecessary pressure on yourself. I don’t see mine giving up her rocking anytime soon and I’m ok with it now I’ve stopped listening to the “advice” she’s happy and healthy the independence can come later ❤️

At this age, needing help to sleep is biologically normal. Babies are wired to seek contact and regulation from caregivers. You cannot over cuddle or over comfort a baby :)

Ignore online!!! I was suckered into this around 4 months and I just knew my baby wasn’t ready. Enjoy the cuddles, the closeness and the bond and forget everyone else. They’ll self settle when they are ready. Xx
