Could you maybe start out with the cot attached next to your bed? Like in a kind of side car arrangement? We're doing this just now and it is part of my wee plan to transition DD to her cot when she is waking less in the night for feeds. We love co-sleeping but she's getting too big and is a total wriggler. And since we've been doing this, she's already been waking less in the night - it would seem being too close to me is waking her more for feeds!

So have her there and then when she gets used to it then move it away from your bed and see if she'll settle this way?

Sorry, I'm rubbish!
