Almost sleeping through the night

So for months I’ve been trying to do research to find what to do to get my baby to sleep better. They say he needs 5 hours of sleep during the day and 11-12 hours at night and he needs an early bedtime. And he’s supposed to have 1.5-2 hour naps and only stay awake for 1.5-2 hours. He’s 5 months. But nothing seemed to help. He was still waking 4+ times a night. So I said screw it!! It can’t get any worse. So I decided to put him in his own crib at night and not stress over his naps and the length of his naps. If he only sleep for 30 minutes for a nap oh well I’m not gonna make him go back to sleep for another hour... and this is working hahaha. Turns out he only needs 3 1/2 hours of sleep during the day and he only wakes up once at night to eat at 3:00am 🤗 and screw the early bedtime he will only sleep a max of 10 hours at night, he’s always up at 5am. So 8:00 is bedtime! No more rules for this momma!! I’m doing what my baby wants and it’s working great!! He’s super happy and I’m happy I never had to sleep train him 😃 happy parenting yall!
