Advice for 11 Month Old not sleeping

Dd was always a good sleeper in the next to me cot, we managed to keep her in it until about 8 months. Since moving to her standard size cot bed, she hates it. She’s been a pretty terrible sleeper ever since. DH has given up and put her in her pushchair, slept downstairs with her a couple of times and she’s slept right through. She seems to like being cocooned in a bit. I’ve tried everything apart from actually putting anything into her cot with her as I know that’s considered dangerous. All sorts of bedtimes and nap schedules, different sleep wear, keeping her busy through the day, going outside in the mornings, nothing has made a difference! Grateful for any tips, I’d even be prepared to buy a new crib if there was a cosier option but I haven’t yet found one!

Does the cot have solid ends? That might help. They can have a duvet and pillow from 12 months can't they? They could 20 years ago anyway 😁 I would look for the cosy, furry sort of cot sheets so it's nice to lie on and tbh I would get a cot bumper (assuming you can still buy them). Is the cot against a wall?

We ended up using a travel cot (red kite I think the brand was called) because of the same issue. We bought a better mattress for it, but think our wee one enjoyed the solid but opaque walls of it compared with the gaps in his bigger bed!
