Will she ever go back in ger cot 😫

Since beginning of October I've had THE worst sleep regression so far with my little girl. I could get her down in her cot but she'd wake multiple times. In the last few weeks she's been poorly with a cold so she won't even go in her cot now and will only sleep with me. Tonight, I'm trying to stick to her cot. I'm currently laid on the floor and she is absolutely screaming her head off. Any advice on how to get her down and keep her in her cot?! Single first time mama here and I am TIRED. Thanks!! :) xx

I’ve been having this since October too. Even rocking her to sleep she is screaming. I’m sorry I don’t have any answers but just wanted to say you’re not alone. I can’t believe that a few months ago we were able to put her in her cot and she’d be able to settle herself to sleep!

@Alice it's crazy isn't it! I used to be able to put her down so easily, she'd be able to self soothe the lot. I'm resorting to the crying out method at minute and I'm an 1 hrs 15 min in 😫 I've been on floor in her room, she was asleep.. crawled out. Got to my bed, screaming again. Never ending lol I feel so bad, but I need my nigjts back. I'm going to bed at 7 every night with her in my bed 🙈 xx

I’m so sorry that sounds really hard. If she falls asleep happily in your bed are you able to transfer her to her cot or does she wake straight away? I don’t know how to even get my little one to sleep happily, even rocking she’s upset!

I’m in the same position 6 weeks in (2 weeks being pretty ill)with my 11 month old! I have resorted to having her fall asleep in our bed (rocking somehow has stopped working), then transfer her to her cot. Then I have put our travel cot up in my room so when she refuses to go back in her cot in the night, I put her in there and when she wakes in there somehow a ‘sh ah’ noise seems to calm her. This makes me think it’s a separation anxiety thing as she just needs to know I’m close!? Not sure if that helps and open to any tips as I am worried how I’m ever getting her out of our room and back in her cot all night again 🙈

It’s nice to know I’m not alone! It definitely feels like separation anxiety to me too x
