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

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

Mine didn’t sleep through till she was 4.

Only way I got any sleep was by moving into her bed, we set up a room with a big bed and a little bed so that she could easily get in with me when she woke up and it wouldn’t disrupt everyone’s sleep.

There was a good book when she was tiny called the No Cry Sleep Solution and there is a toddler version, so if you want to avoid cry-it-out methods that might be worth a look. I found it helpful for night weaning.

My first just never wanted to be alone, so we co-slept.
