@sara-lou86 she is in the cot she is the same with Moses basket she just wants me 24/7 to cuddle her and to be with her 24/7 but I find it hard because I need to get on and do things I would like to start doing bed routine but it's so hard at the moment she's only 12 weeks x

My 7 month old has only recently started to self soothe x

Is she in a cot or crib? Some babies don't like the space. I used to roll up blankets and place them either side of Max. I don't have the stamina or patience for rocking so didn't with either of mine. Not routinely anyway. It may just take time. I'd lay them down and leave them a few moments. Keep going back to reassure them. I'd pick them up if they got too upset have a cuddle then lay them back down. Trying to leave them a little longer each time. I also tried putting tops of mine in or a muslin I'd previously had in bed with me so it had my scent 😂

@mrsmowmow my daughter really fights me when I'm rocking her in my arms but she kicks off in the cot too and screams so loud for me to pick her up. Her cot is nexts to my bed xx

Put something in her cot that you've wore so she has your smell, some babies don't like all the open space my daughter never so I put her back in her chicco next to me and sleeps so much better x
