From holding baby to sleep to making him sleep independently?

For mummies who didn’t sleep train, how old was your baby when he or she managed to fall asleep independently without you rocking them? My baby is 3 months old and I’ve been rocking him to sleep and co-sleep as he wakes up shortly in his crib. For naps, I’ve been holding him so that he can sleep longer. But I think this isn’t good and sustainable :(

My daughter wanted us to rock her to sleep when she was younger. Now that she is 10 months old, sometimes she prefers to sleep independently, she struggles when we carry her during her bed time. When we leave her in the cot, with nursery rhymes and air-conditioning, she fell asleep on her own after abit of rolling about in her cot. But once in a while, there will also be days she wants us to rock her to sleep before putting her down in the cot. Really depends on her mood.
