If I just put him in the cot he cries and cries and it escalates. I have lasted 1hr once and gave up. It has just been easier for me holding him. I have markedly reduced the amount of time that I hold him for - now never longer than 10mins. It used to be a lot longer. When I put him in he is drowsy (sometimes asleep) and he puts his thumb in and sucks himself off to a deep sleep. I guess the first step is to further reduce the amount of time I hold him and perhaps pat him in the cot when he is drowsy, after holding him for that shorter time - what do you think?
