Try to lay him on your bed and you can lay next to him and pat him to sleep. He’s not going to like it but keep trying, do it for naps and night time sleep (and then transfer into cot) When he’s finally able to go to sleep in this way after a few days, put him in the cot awake and pat him to sleep. ( it’s not always going to work) Get him to sleep without you so when it’s nap time put him in the pram and go for a walk, he should fall asleep, this will slowly show him that he can nap without being held. Give him a little comforter to cuddle when it’s nap and sleep time. During wake times do lots of play and cuddles so he’s not missing out on the cuddles.

@Rallii thanks ill try most of it but he will never sleep in a pram. In all 26 months he has fallen asleep once or twice in pram even if he's super tired. He's too curious and he needs to see everything. Even as a little baby he didn't nap in pram. Like ever 🤣
