I wasn't following EASY either at that age - he wasn't feeding well (undiagnosed reflux, CMPI and FTT) so I fed him to sleep frequently!
At 6mo he was happy to self settle as
he was able to then - he let me know

Up until then I was cuddling him and humming quietly to get him drowsy, as shh-pat didn't work for us at all! Ever since then he's been really good at sleeping

Do what works for you and J
