Starting from what age can I use the pick-up-and-put-down method when my baby cries—picking them up to soothe and laying them back down?

This method can generally be tried after the baby is 4-6 months old. Before 4 months, babies still have nighttime feeding needs and their self-soothing skills aren't developed enough, so this method isn't recommended. Between 4 and 6 months, some babies start showing the ability to fall back asleep on their own at night. Before starting, it's helpful to check with your pediatrician to make sure your baby is gaining weight well and has no health concerns.
