Advice on how to get my little one to sleep in the cot

To start with I would rock baby so there almost asleep and then put in cot and then basically work backwards until baby is ok to be put in cot awake. I did this with my first. Took consistency but it worked!

The main thing is consistency. Pick a method and stick to it. You’ll probably have 3-4 hard nights and then it should get easier
I used Ferber with my son at around 6 months to get him to sleep in his cot. It was really hard but the first night was the worst and the second was bad but a bit better and the third was a little better again and after that he was able to sleep in his cot.

Spend some time in and around the cot, so he knows it’s a safe space. Some familiar smells and items nearby might also help. And as someone else said, consistency. Mine used to cry for 20-30 mins when going in (I’d always stay with him but didn’t pick up, pick up put down never worked for us) but eventually he’d understand he could move around, get comfy, and eventually drift off. I only ever said “it’s bedtime” when settling, bum pats where needed etc, but yeah tried to keep him in that space x

I could have written this exact post!! I have no advice, as we are weaning I have given porridge a few hours ago, and gone back to using a white noise machine, a rocket, a hot water bottle with warm water prior in the bed and a red light, using everything we have - wish me luck 🤣🤣
