Nap struggle ! Always rocked to sleep ! Help

We had this exact same situation near enough with my daughter. We were co sleeping so she fell asleep on me and also contact napped. When she went to nursery at 11mo we found that she was so tired from a full morning of activities that napping never ended up being a problem, she just did it? They do say every now and then she'll want a cuddle and then they'll transfer her but the majority of the time she's fine to just go down.

In terms of getting her to sleep in her cot overnight, me and her dad both took a week off work and just went for it. This was in January this year as I'm pregnant with #2 and just knew it wasn't going to work having 4 of us in one room. I know there are loads of different methods but we just put her in her cot and just stayed with her and held her hand through the bars. Gave her reassurance when she needed it, held her other nights and just went with the flow. Some nights were better than others and we had multiple wake ups but we just had to persevere.

this is very reassuring! Congratulations on your 2nd one xx

If you do t mind me asking, is she going full days all 5 days to the nursery?

And Does she sleep well in the cot now? Xx

She goes to nursery twice a week, with grandparents twice a week and then with me on the final day. The days she does come home from nursery she is shattered!

She settles really quickly in the cot, we give her a bottle at 8.15pm and she's asleep (typically) no later than 8.40pm. She just puts herself to sleep. Sometimes though she will wake up at 4/5am and for the sake of everyone in the house we bring her into our bed just to get a bit of extra sleep but most of her wake ups are losing a dummy or something like that xx
