My baby was trained to sleep on her own since 4.5 months. We also trained her to self soothe and fall asleep on her own gradually. I also direct latched her whenever she woke up during the night. I personally think training earlier has lots of benefits. And she’ll start sleeping through the night earlier too, without needing to keep latching on out of habit
