What cot to use?

Hi everyone, so my 6.5 month old can't self settle and only sleeps when held or co sleeping. I don't like to co sleep as I find it uncomfortable and stressful as I worry about him and don't really sleep..also he likes to still be cuddled so it's getting harder as he's getting bigger. I'm still trying to get him in his bedside cot but he fights it a lot. But now he's getting too big for it , he won't go anywhere near his cotbed in the nursery and it's too big to move the cotbed into our bedroom. What can I use for him to sleep in (or try to sleep in). I don't think he would go for a travel cot on the floor...any ideas of a next to me cot that goes bigger than 6months?!

There’s a Next To Me Forever. But it sounds like you don’t want to co sleep and that his inability to self soothe is the issue? Just based on your post, I’m wondering if you’d be better doing some sleep training rather buying a new bed.. But I know not what you asked so please feel free to totally ignore the rest of my post after the Next To Me Forever suggestion Grin

Some cots can be built with one side left off so you could put it between the wall and your bed to ensure its sturdy enough.

@LakeShoreD sleep training us an option but I don't know where to start..I don't want to do cry it out and other things I have tried he just screams and cries nothing soothes him except picking him up. Any ideas greatly appreciated!
