If he is breastfed maybe look into co sleeping if you feel comfortable enough with it?

I had the same problem. We coslept and in the day I put her in a sling or held her. She is 15 months now and currently asleep in her cot upstairs after 12 months of cosleeping. I will say she is a rubbish sleeper - hardly naps and seems to need hardly any sleep but I'm told that's a sign of intelligence! Anyway I don;t think you're making a rid for your own back if you hold a baby, but also there are some great suggestins on here for things to try, just if they don;t work don;t panic too much! They all eventually get the hang of sleeping in their own, some just take longer to get used to it. They have been inside you for 9 months after all, a cot or moses must feel quite lonely after that.

Just thought id update this thread - my son has slept in the moses basket for 5 nights running :j i tried lots of the methods suggested here but the one that worked for him was the towels around the sides of the moses basket so big thank you to those who suggested it i never would have thought of it myself. as i said its only been 5 days but so far so good!!

That solution was recommended to us when our son was tiny, some friends of ours had a daughter 9months before and shared all their tips. Used it also with success for our daughter. Glad you've found something that works.

Hope peace continues to reign.
