My ds now 7 months is currently sobbing uncontrolably upstairs. Today we have got rid of his rocking basket by my bed as he is getting too small for it and he is in a big cot now.

I was not expecting this, he is fine if I pick him up and give him his dummy snuggled into me but as soon as I put him down he goes crazy. Never heard him like this before and don't want to do cc but feel like I have forced myself into it.
He is ff during the day and bf at night, just tried bf but not having any of it.
Dh is sitting next to the cot now trying to calm him down.
I am on my own during the week and have 3 others the oldest only 5 so feel i can't rock him to sleep in my arms at night time cause when they are all in bed is when I do the washing and washing up ect.

Feel like I have taken a massive step backwards and feels so wrong hearing my baby boy cry.

Not even too sure how to do cc but feel forced into it now.

Help please
:(

Do you still have the basket? If it is a moses basket type could you pop it inside the cot for a few nights? Hopefully if you just stick to his normal bedside routine for a few nights he will soon get used to his new bed. If you are sure he is not ill/teething then I would just reassure and cuddle as much as you need to - hopefully he will be fine once he goes off
