Question for moms who rock or rocked their 5+ babes to sleep...yes or no? I’ve been trying to have mine sit by himself throughout the day and he’s doing alright. But I’m struggling to decide on sleep. Sometimes he falls asleep on his own on the couch, other times it gets a lil past bedtime and he has to be held and rocked. I just don’t want to make him too dependent. My mom says one thing and his dad says another. It’s hard to decide because she’s had kids and this is our first. He thinks I’m turning our 5 month into a solely dependent wussy boy 🙄😭😡 and my mom thinks I’m being controlled by his dad 🤬😤😩

He’s only 5 months. He’s a baby. He is completely dependent and that’s ok. I never rocked my baby but he always fell asleep nursing. He’s 2.5 and before bed we read stories and cuddle until he falls asleep. It’s our special time together. Do what you feel is right but in my opinion, 5 month olds still need their mamas

I rocked my oldest until 2.5. Then we moved onto snuggles. Now I just sit with him for a couple minutes and he goes to sleep on his own. My youngest I rock and will probably rock until 1-1.5. He’s capable of going to sleep himself any time but bedtime, and he’ll only let me do it.
