Tips how to get baby out of sleeping in sleepyhead and into next to me crib?

My LG would only sleep in the sleepyhead which is placed inside the next to me crib. I would like to get her just sleeping in the next to me bed but everytime she’s put down in it she wakes up 🙃

I’m currently trying to transition to the next to me too. Wasn’t having much luck but managed to get her napping in there during the day on Monday - only short naps but was progress. I took it to a different room and still had daylight etc. to differentiate from night. So I’d try to start with some naps. Can try hugging the bed sheet to transfer scent. I’m also swaddling - use muslins in the day and sleeping bags at night. Used tv as background noise and then white noise at night. I haven’t got her in at night time yet. Tried last night but she was unsettled anyways so wasn’t the night to try. During the day she wasn’t moving around but at night she was flailing in it. Don’t think she likes the extra space. I actually worry she has more chance of trying to roll that way too. Been using the Purflo sleep tight baby bed inside. Only way we’ve all managed some sleep these past few weeks. Before that it was contact sleeping for her (not us).

I used this with my first! Worked like a charm… https://justchillbabysleep.co.uk/2020/11/19/how-to-stop-using-a-sleep-pod-or-nest/
