Our baby won’t sleep

We have a 9 month old baby boy & he just won’t sleep. Every night he wakes every 1-2 hours and when we put him to sleep he just screams (we have about 2 hours of it, then he finally nods off)

Since he was born he wouldn’t be put down during the day. Hated his Moses basket, bassinet on the pram & next to me crib.

After a few months we co-slept. We also went travelling for 3 months from 5-8 months so co-slept in our motorhome then to. He would wake up, but abit of food & he’d sleep again. Admittedly we had no routine while travelling.

Were just 2 months from maternity ending & been trying to get him in a 8:30-9:30 bedtime

We bought a bugaboo travel cot, hates it.
We’ve now bought a Cot-bed with Snuz Pro mattress, still the same screaming match, then the monitor goes off and he’s crawling around

Any tips as it’s wearing me thin!

can’t find correct category for this so posting for traffic

The straight answer is you either sleep train properly or get used to it and accept it.

We’ve been at it for 1 month now, don’t seem to be getting any closer to sleeping through
