So my little boy will be 6 month in just over a week.

He has very recently started to fall asleep by himself in his bed, before this I would have to rock him to sleep, but he has always and still is waking up several time in the night just for a cuddle. Any ideas on how to try to stop this? I usually his bum until he drops back off but there always comes a point where that doesn’t work and he ends up in bed with me and we then stop crying instantly and go back to sleep.
