If you've come across a similar situation, how do you settle your baby? Thanks.
There's different schools of thought about this. I would hold her and cuddle and pat her as I sing to her until she falls asleep in my arms (which sometimes would take a lot longer than other times). But others say you should just leave them in the cot and let them self-soothe and become more independent.
