Can't get into cot

What do you do if you have tried multiple times to put baby in the cot and they wake up every time. Do you give up or spend the whole evening at it? My patience is wearing thin. She has a cold and a cough and it's hot but I'm also hot from holding her and have things I need to get on with. Been like this a good few days and I'm fed up now.

If my little boy does that we go down stairs for half hour play and try make him more tired and start bed time again when everyone is feeling a bit more calm x

@Chelsea it's tempting but she is so tired as has only napped for 30 minutes today. I know it's probably the cold and cough but it feels like the shit sleep has lasted forever. She has had calpol too. Think I just have to accept another evening written off 😭

Co sleep

@Reena we co sleep once I go to bed but I can't go to bed early as I have other kids.

When he’s sick I will cosleep if he doesn’t settle.

@Becky I let baby fall asleep and then roll away and come back if he wakes up

Floor bed has been a game changer for us! She feeds to sleep and then rolls away. Doesn’t last all night but I can actually leave quietly until she needs me and then come back again to settle her. So much easier than holding her to sleep which is what my husband and I did between us for 10 months đŸ«
