DS 5mo has started wanting to put himself to sleep sometimes so i'm jumping on it to start self soothing but i have no idea how to go about it or where to get the best advice about it.
ATM if he's very tired and hasn't fallen asleep on his bottle then he doesn't want to be held he wants to lay in his cot and will fall asleep within aboout 45 mins max but the problem is he wants his dummy which he knocks out so i keep having to put back in but he's not to bad.
He often wakes during the night and will go back to sleep with his dummy in a few mins the dummy loving is new since he was unwell a few weeks ago. He also often wakes about 5am wide awake for an hour then back to sleep last night i left him for the first time we had 45 mins of cooing then moaning then crying for a bottle and back to sleep. He used to settle himself to sleep in his buggy but is doiing it less and less during the day.
So what do i do next?
