How to get baby to nap without feeding?

what would he do if you just put him in his cot? my son did what youre describing at a similar age. I stopped bf at 10 months, we swapped to bottles and at first he'd fall asleep on it and then he stopped and we'd try and cuddle or rock him to sleep and he hated it so we started putting him in his cot awake and he'd just go to sleep on his own. x

Our 14 month old still needs a full feed before sleep. We can stop to brush teeth before falling asleep. But still working on dropping the need to feed before sleep 🙈
She used to fall asleep with bottle in mouth too. Its a work in progress. Trying not to get too obsessed with it and hope she works it out on her own

I am not there yet so i don't have any helpful advice on what to do, but i would say - don't develop any habits that you can't keep up with.. so don't drive him in the car to make him fall asleep if you won't do it every time, and the same with rocking... How much are you going to keep rocking him to sleep? I am trying to break this habit with mine and not rock him to sleep anymore as he is only 4m old and has 9kg and i can't keep up with his weight.
I opted for a floor bed especially to be easy for me to put him to bed on the long run. I am hoping to teach him to fall asleep with me laying next to him, and then later just sitting next to the bed and then i can just leave. I hated the idea of a cot....
