Advice and tips much appreciated

I'm s first time mum so learning on the job,
Any tips on transitioning from Moses basket to cot?

I've been putting little one in his cot in own room when napping in day or when I'm putting his clothes away etc

He wakes every single time almost instantly and cries!

In his basket we used to have to have blankets down the side to make him feel snug. Now he is bigger we've removed them and transferred him into a sleeping bag and he barely noticed we had changed it.

He wakes once a night for a feed atm but goes back down reasonably well.

Any advice from experienced mums and dads would be great

Warm the mattress for a wee while with a hot water bottle before putting him down. Do you lift him straight away when he cries or see if he settles himself?

@Justmuddlingalong I've been just rubbing his head to reassure him, putting his Mobile on and shhhh him, but nothing works. He then gets so upset. I tried putting his basket on the cot too. I've only tried in the day when napping, which he never deep sleeps in the day tbh
