How do you get baby to sleep?

[lancslass17]

Just wondering how you get your little ones to sleep.
I have a 19 week old little boy. For the past few weeks he's been his moses basket I put him in ( after bath, bottle,book etc) and lie with my arm in cot stopping his dummy from falling out (He likes to suckle but sucks so hard the dummy pops out) and he nods of.
Now he's too big for basket so going in cot bed so I can't really do what I've been doing. Last 2 nights I sit with him in my arms and transfer him ( takes a few attempts). I'm trying not to go back to rocking.
Just wondering what others do ( without crying and taking hours).
I'm aspiring to night night love you, see you in the morning and leaving but that feels like forever away.

May not be for everyone but I swaddle my 4 month old. Mattress elevated and put on their side. Generally has awake time of 1.5 hours and then a nap.

I don't have to do anything then. I leave her in the room and put the monitor on.

On my first it took 5 months to get any kind of routine going so I'm more stricter this time around as can't spend as much time as I did as the 5 month old is now 19 months old.

Congrats by the way

my son fed to sleep for naps and bedtime till about 14 months. He doesnt anymore so I cuddle him till he is sleepy then put on cot and stay with him till he falls asleep.
