My baby got very used to sleeping in my arms. When is the best age to start breaking this habit?

The best time to address the habit of sleeping in arms is generally around 3-4 months. At this age, sleep patterns start to stabilize somewhat and babies become more open to self-soothing skills. Every baby is different though; after 6 months, habits become more ingrained, so starting earlier makes change easier. You can begin small—instead of rocking her in your arms as she gets sleepy, try laying her in bed and using calm sounds like "shhh" or gentle back stroking beside her.
