Sleep

Hey guys! I have a 14 month old and I’m really struggling with getting him to sleep on his cot. He goes to bed at 7pm and will be fine in his cot for a few hours then he will just wake up screaming and the only way I can stop him is if I put him in the bed with me. Any ideas on how I can try get him to stay in his c...

4week old

I need opinions. What’s everyone doing with their LO in the evening times. Do you put them in their cots and stay with them and call it a night. Do you put them in their cot and pop a camera on and go about your evening or do you have a Moses basket downstairs and keep them in there until you go to bed.

We did the occasional contact nap, but after 6 months we never really co-slept other than cuddles on the couch sometimes (lots of physical affection otherwi...
