Not sure what advice I'm looking for really just a bit of hope. I have just put my 5 month old in her cot for the first time. I know 5 months is a long time in a moses basket but for the first 6 weeks I really struggled as she didn't sleep well.
I'm a single parent so when she started sleeping through the night it was a big weight of my shoulders and I'm so scared of going back to the sleepless nights. She usually sleeps 12+ hours a night in her moses basket so I was too anxious about putting her in her cot in case it messed up her sleeping pattern.
She is almost the full length of the basket so I've bit the bullet and tonight she's in her cot. Did anyone find their babies struggled with the transition and have I left it too long now that she will be too attached to her basket?
I know I probably sound nuts but the thought of going back to having no sleep really worries me as I also have a 5 year old to get to school. Shes currently drifting off but it has took a bit longer than usual, she was just wanting to play and fought her way out her swaddling when usually its just a case of putting her down and she falls asleep. Thanks if you read my rambling.
