Joseph has always slept really well in his moses basket but he was running out of arm room in there. He still has some room lengthways but looked a bit squished widthways. Anyway, we moved his cot into our room Sunday night for him to sleep in and since then he just won't settle. I have to be in the bed next to him and hold his hand through the bars for ages before he will go off. I'm pretty much in bed by 9 every night now just so he will settle!

I put him in his cot for a nap this afternoon and he took ages to settle and woke up after about 10 mins. I gave up and put him in his moses basket and he settled straight away. What should I do, persist with the cot until he gets used to it or should I just assume he isn't ready to go in his cot yet and put him back into the moses basket for a bit longer? Any advice welcome xx
 
When your changing a baby into there cots from a moses basket it can be scary for them as theres way too much space , mabey try to swaddle him or have a blanket next to him so he feels snug and secure ..

I used to put a shirt of mine with max so he still smelled me next to him :)
