Baby napped without contact

LO went down for a nap this morning for the first time!! I know so many of us struggle with this and I never thought it would work. I placed him down awake in his crib with white noise - he lay there awake for 15 mins not complaining. He started moaning so I picked him up and rocked him until his eyes were shutting. Put him down and he eventually fell asleep after I put his dummy back. Point of this post is if you are nervous to put them down as they'll only contact, just try!! You have to start somewhere - he did wake after 20 mins lol but I'll take the little win. Will try this for 1 morning nap every day!
