Ok so DD is now 4 months old and while Im still happy to co sleep at night no issues, I would like to be able to get her to sleep in her cot.

So I am going to attempt to put her down in her cot for day sleeps. At the moment she prefers to sleep in my arms or in the swing so Im guessing she likes motion and well mum LOL

how long would you persist for? by persisting I mean in a day how many attempts to settle and place her down before letting her sleep on me/swing? because I know she needs her sleep and don't want her to go without just because I would prefer the cot over me.

She doesnt self settle and Im not to fussed about that, she isnt rolling yet and still likes to be wrapped so Im not going to take away wrapping and rocking to sleep yet. Dont want to hit her with big change and take her comfort things away all at once.


I was thinking of settling and placing her down 1-2 times per each nap time and if that doesn't working then letting her sleep as she wishes and start again the next nap. Does that sound ok?
