DS was very similar. For the first 5 months ALL his day sleeps were in my arms, basically on the boob. If I tried to put him in his cot he would just scream. I found eventually I was able to feed him to sleep then transfer him to our bed, with pillows all around him. After a couple of weeks of that I could then lie him on our bed and he would roll and talk etc,, but would then fall asleep, but only if I was next to him. Once asleep I could steal away. After a while I could either feed him to sleep and transfer him to his cot, or sit next to his cot patting, singing etc, until he fell asleep. Now at eight months he mostly goes to sleep with me sitting net to the cot, but sometimes he even self settles!

It's so very hard and stressful, and I know saying try not to stress is so much easier said than done, but I know for me it was only when I stopped trying to fight it that he started improving.

So I don't really have any useful advice other than it does improve, and you're not alone xx
