For me when going from rocking to going into the cot sleepy alot of times it would depend on your baby, some days Liam would be sleepy in a matter of minutes, sometimes he would lay in my arms staring up at me for ages.

I think for you the first step will be getting your DS used to falling asleep in his room, he needs to becomes comfortable falling asleep in those surroundings.

When I went to the stage of putting Liam down sleepy, I would wait till his eyes started flagging and that would be my queue to pop him in his cot. For me the key was making sure he had a firm hand on him, so he knew I was still there. I would put one hand on his shoulder and put with the other.

Goodluck with the process, I hope it is not too traumatic for you. I know it seems daunting but it truly is worth it in the end.
