Yeap this time has arrived already for my baby Erin to say bye bye to her moses basket and hola to her cot, she was in her moses basket on the stand right next to the bed but to my horror night before last she tried to do her best impression of a leaping salmon and nearly launched herself out of the basket ; so time for a change. She’s only 14 weeks old but mega long ( we are talking over the 90th centile) so she’s out grown her basket anyway so night before last we put her in her cot.
We were so naive, thought just putting her in her cot in her growbag things would be cool, she have more space to stretch , happy days! She went down fine, but around 2am she must have woken up properly (she normally has a feed around this time anyway) and thought what the heck is going on, where my basket and what is all this space , arrhhhh. Yeah night from hell then happened, she wouldn’t go back down anywhere apart from with me cuddling her, so in the early hours after ages of being up with her the smell of desperation is in the air, you know the feeling, basically if someone said that tap dancing naked would get her to sleep you’d be looking for your shoes; i let her sleep with me cuddling her and hence i didn’t sleep.
Anyways what i was getting to is we made a bit of a boob by just plonking her in her cot and thinking things would be cool, so last night after some very good advice from a mum at Amelias school we put Erin in her moses basket but in the cot and yeah she slept. Thank you thank you 
Looks like it’s gonna take a little bit longer for the progression into the cot alone but we are half way there; and no possibility of her leaping out of her cot.
SO you probably know this but if you are as naive as me putting the moses basket in the cot is a great transitional stage , try it see if your little one likes it too. Although the rate Erin is growing she will be hanging her little feet over the end before long!
Any other tips about babies sleeping is always appreciated
Bad times
