Bedtime leave in cot to fall asleep

@Amanda thanks. I'll keep trying. Maybe start with naps when home.
Yes. Naps worked better in the beginning.
We did gradual retreat. So moving a little further away each night. Cuddles > hand hold/stroking / hand on them > sat by bed > sat further away > sat behind door etc Now we can walk out when he’s fully awake (as long as he’s calm!)
@Cal Great to hear. Shall try with naps at home although LO goes down alot easier for naps than bedtime
I keep suggesting this to everyone but floor beds are amazing. My LO is so much happier about going to bed and there's no transferring!
@Emily No transferring but they do need to be calm enough not to run around like a maniac. 😂 Which we do have some nights!
@Cal absolutely true 😂 at the moment we have her bed in a play pen to limit the chaos!
Like you - I won’t do CIO. I just kept trying to put my daughter in her bed. If she cried I picked her up and cuddled her to sleep. One day she didn’t cry and it’s been good since.
