HELP MAMMAS!!!!
I've recently been picking my LO up from his cot for his night feed and cuddling him to sleep in my bed/ Co sleeping. Today I've tried to put him down for a nap in his cot 6x and each time he's woken up within 5 mins. I then got in my bed and cuddled him to sleep and he slept until I put him back in his cot and he woke up again. Is he too used to me cuddling him to sleep in my bed and co sleeping? What can I do to make him sleep in his own cot?????

It takes a while!! Mine took about a week of really bad sleeps to slowly start sleeping longer in his cot. When I had clothes to put away, or a little tidy, I’d put him in his cot to chill, he’d watch me around the room and I’d leave to put clothes away in another room, so he’d be alone, and he eventually got comfortable in there and in his own space - that definitely helped!
My LO 4 months uses his cot well and we occasionally co sleep. My trick is to put a top that I’ve worn to sleep for a night or 2 in the cot for him to sleep on as all he needs is my smell. Give it a try.

Can’t help cos my nearly seven month old has never slept on his own more than five mins and will wake straight up since birth😂😂🙈🙈🙈
