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 :(

Cheers

Hi mummy! You’re not alone. Baby who sleeps with you will naturally be independent on their own. They prefer to sleep with you because they feel safe and secure and you’re his sense of belonging . My son wants me to cradle him to sleep until more than 1 years old. When he’s getting heavier I slowly pillow talk with him and hug him to sleep. Now I just need to accompany him to sleep and he will sleep on his own. Just to make sure that I’m around him. It’s perfectly okay mummy, they need time to grow and learn too. When they grow up, you’ll miss sleeping with them! 🥲
