There is no one right age at which a child should start sleeping by themselves. It can vary depending on the child and the family's needs, and cultural and personal preferences.
For some children, it may be appropriate to start teaching them to sleep independently as early as 6 months old, while others may not be ready until they are 2 or 3 years old.
It's important to consider a child's developmental stage when deciding when to start teaching them to sleep independently. Children who are developmentally ready to sleep alone will be able to understand and follow simple sleep routines and may be less likely to experience separation anxiety.
Remember that the process of teaching a child to sleep independently is just that - a process. It may take time and patience, but with a consistent and nurturing approach, most children can learn to sleep independently. It's also important to note that it's not uncommon for children to have some temporary setbacks or relapses in their sleep, particularly during times of stress or change.
It's always a good idea to consult with pediatrician or a sleep specialist if you have concerns about your child's sleep.
