How to help baby settle into a new sleeping environment quickly? At what age can baby start to self-soothe and go to sleep independently?

You can start sleep training after the age of 4 months, and the most effective sleep training methods are the ones that involve helping your baby unlearn sleep associations they can’t independently manage (e.g. rocking or feeding) and learn new sleep associations (e.g. routine, or a comfortable blanket). This process can be emotional for parents, so please seek supports and look after yourself in the process. Unfortunately there are no quick fix as this is a learning process and the duration can vary from a few days, to a week or two. Regardless of whether you’ve recently moved house, are moving house, or are traveling, maintaining consistency in your baby’s bedtime routine can be very helpful in helping your baby settle for sleep.
