Hello!
my 13 month old has nurses to sleep since go, she was tongue tied at birth and got it snipped at 4 months.
i have been trying to get her used to her cot by taking the side down and attaching it to the bed so we cosleep then I roll away then she sleeps in it until she wakes up and rolls towards me

at the moment we are away and have the travel cot. She is not used to it and scream crys when even put near it, she’s getting quite big and mobile to be able to cosleep in the bed and as we are not in normal bed I’m scared of her not being stable

what can I do to relax her about the cot and approach any type of “sleep training” to accept and feel safe and comfortable to sleep In the cot?

I know the first step is to stop nursing to sleep but It’s been difficult, I have been trying to include more sleep associations like shushing and patting, also the white noise helps and I’ve been making it more akward for nipple so she turns away when settled

just any guidance that doesn’t include letting her cry it out would be appreciated, needs to be gentle

thank you
