Transitioning to Cot

Hi,

My DS (6 mths) has slept in a baby hammock for the last 2-3 months. Just recently he has been sick with a head cold and struggles to be comfortable in the hammock, so has begun sleeping in the cot at night and is happy there after overnight feeds. Which gave us a huge but very pleasant surprise :dance:

BUT I cant get him down during the day in it as he is used to being rocked to sleep in the hammock. We've tried lying down with him for naps (doesnt work). I also cant get him down for his first night sleep in the cot - he sleeps in the hammock until his first feed and then I pop him in the cot afterwards.

Anyone have any other suggestions? It would be great if we could get day and night in the cot. We are going interstate soon to visit family and I would love to take the portacot rather than the hammock because I know after 5 days in the hammock we will be back where we started.

Should I just go cold turkey?? Comfort him until he goes to sleep in there?
