Sleep training - how to continue

[polla]

Hello,

My baby (almost 7 mo) is falling asleep while I tap her on her back. But it doesn't seem to help her sleep better at night. Am I missing something? What should be the next step in sleep training? How do I teach her to fall asleep without me?

Thanks

Hi there, could you post your routine please for us?

Do you always settle her this way, for all naps and at night?

Essentially you need to gradually fade out what you are doing - so if you now tap her on the back all the way to sleep, try stopping just as she is closing her eyes, then just when she is calm, then just briefly as part of winddown, then not at all and work towards getting out of the room
