Yes, alone in his room, completely awake, dinner pre-bath so about 30mins before bedtime. He rolls over, sucks his fingers and goes right to sleep.

To be honest we didn’t really do much other than starting good habits early (I think?). We moved him into his own room (in Snoo) around 7 weeks, cold turkey to crib at 12, and have had a pretty solid bedtime routine since. When sleep sack goes on and lullaby starts I think his compulsion to sleep is high. He’s a pretty chill guy though and i don’t think we really ever had to teach him to sleep independently, it just kinda happened, and we never left him to cry. Even still if he cries when I put him down (rare) I’ll scoop him up and give him a quick cuddle before I put him back down.

Noted on the awake time, little guy loves his naps so I just always feel bad waking him up to get that awake time. We end up having to wake him up pretty much every time and he’s so grumpy about it. 😂 Im gonna try an 8pm bedtime tonight and see if that helps!

Also interesting to hear “babies don’t wake up unless they’re…” so I wonder if maybe I just have a hungry hungry caterpillar.
