Is this the start of a new hope...?

[User27392]

I’ve just managed to get my baby to fall asleep independently (sort of...) in his crib rather than nursing him to sleep and transferring him.

Dare I believe this is the first step on the road to better sleep, after weeks of him waking 5+ times per night...?

I wouldn't get excited just yet, it's a long road. But yes, this is the first step, well done.

nicely done!

Thank you both! Until recently I couldn’t imagine him ever falling asleep without a boob in his mouth, so it does feel like a big step. But yes, appreciate there is a long way to go yet!

That is a milestone for sure! Well done!
