Sorry, this is not going to be the answer you are looking for but lots of other people will give you some really great suggestions. I’ve just totally given up trying to get DS2 to sleep in his cot. We’ve pulled down the cot, given it away, and bought a king single love nest! I start the night with DH in our bed and then move to the king single with DS2 sometime during the night, when he calls for me, and I finish off the night in there. It works for us. Eventually I plan on moving back into our bed full-time with DH. I just figured it would be easier to get myself out of DS2’s bed than to get DS2 out of our bed, LOL!

Goodluck.
