Hi mama! What's worked for my now 3mo daughter is to VERY slowly lay her down on her side, feet touch the bed first, then booty, back and head. Then I let my boob rest on her face for a little so she can settle and still feel like we're together. Then I slowly pull away. Sometimes I put my warm palm to her cheek so she thinks she's still resting on me.
Also, I try to put on the sound machine and music before trying to set her down before an unexpected noise messes everything up 😅 aka my toddler son

I still contact nap and my boy is a year old, when I know he’s deeply asleep on me (usually his dummy will fall out his mouth) I’ll slowly and carefully move him to his crib and he’ll stay there asleep for a good couple of hours during the day and I’ll do the same at night and then he sleeps right through til the morning with no wakes during the night.

I stopped contact naps at 8 months because he wasn't sleeping very long on me anymore. Just started with the cribs then for naps honestly
