I'm really struggling with this. Miss A settles really well in her hammock - during the day I can put her down, give the hammock a shove and walk out and she's basically asleep before I even get to the door. At night I put her down in her hammock for the first sleep of the night, but she's always fed to sleep. Then during the night depending on how tired I am I will either put her back in the hammock (again having fed to sleep) or she'll stay in bed with me.
She really is starting to push the limit on her hammock now in terms of size and rolling, plus its hotter in there which isn't great with summer well and truly here. I've tried a few times to put her down in a cot - either one in our room or in her own room, and unless she is really deeply asleep the second she feels the firm mattress under her she starts screaming (our bed is a very soft latex mattress so a completely different feel). If I do manage to get her down asleep, then she won't settle again after the first cycle and we're back to square one.
Does anyone have any idea on how to get her to settle into a cot? I love cosleeping with her, and imagine we'll be doing that for a while yet at night but I don't trust her in bed by herself anymore because she's just way too mobile so she really does have to learn to sleep in her cot. Thanks lovelies
