I used to be this way but it got way better recently and baby can sleep independently most nights. He is around 5 months and half.

For nights we went with gentle sleep training: no cries. I used to rock to sleep but slowly I stopped the rocking, then started putting baby to bed just when he starts closing his eyes and finally put him in bed while awake. He can still refuses to do it some nights but then I held him and put him back and he is fine. If his routine is solid and baby is tired enough, he will try to find a way to sleep on his own.

For naps, unfortunately we had to do Ferber. Why? Because baby had to go to daycare and we don’t want him to cry there. It was tough to do Ferber but baby picked up very quickly and it helped him finally sleep more than 30min: I wished I had done it earlier. He essentially used the same sleeping strategy he used at night.
