Hi, fairly clueless and very tired first time mum here so please be gentle even if my idea is, as I already suspect, a bit ridiculous...
Ds is 9 months and outgrowing his snuzpod in our room. He was prem and a slightly small baby, which is why we've gotten away with it for this long! We really want him in his own room.
Before he was born my parents very kindly got us a cot bed from IKEA, the thinking being it would last ages etc. All very well, except for one small issue... We cannot get him to sleep in it! When I sit next to the cot he doesn't settle at all, even though when he's in the snuzpod and I'm lying next to him on our bed, he will sometimes go to sleep without being held etc. But when we get him sleep (feed, rock etc) he always wakes when we put him down and we have to start again.
I've found a large travel cot online (newborn to 15kgs) where the side zips down. Would I be insane to buy it so I could settle ds and slide him in then zeip it back up, like the snuzpod but with more space and in his own room?? I could also take it when we stay at my parents or go away etc.
I know people will say sleep train and we haven't ruled this out, but we tried it a bit ago and it didn't work, although it may have been we needed a different method. I'd rather not if I'm honest, but I know it works for many. At this point I'm just trying to look for a few solutions so we can pick a course of action!
Thanks.
