To help your 6.5-month-old baby sleep independently, it's important to establish a consistent bedtime routine that promotes self-soothing and comfort. Start by creating a calm, soothing environment before bed with activities like a warm bath, gentle rocking, or reading a book. Put your baby in the crib when they are drowsy but not fully asleep, allowing them to learn how to fall asleep on their own. You can use a soft, comforting object, like a favorite blanket, to help them feel secure. Gradually reduce the amount of support you provide, such as rocking or patting, over time so your baby can get used to falling asleep independently. It's also important to establish a consistent sleep schedule, with regular nap times and bedtime, to help your baby develop a strong sleep routine. If back pain from side sleeping is a concern for you, consider using supportive pillows to relieve pressure, but make sure your baby’s sleep position is safe. If the transition is challenging, be patient and gentle, as it may take time for your baby to adjust.
