Sleeping on the floor 🙄

I have always rocked my son to sleep. Up until this past week he has done great with it & I have honestly enjoyed rocking him to sleep because it give us a little 1 on 1 time together. But this past week he has NOT liked me rocking him to sleep. At first I thought it was just him fighting his sleep- maybe going through something. But last night I just let him have his fit in the floor for a minute because he has been throwing himself in the floor recently too 🤦🏻‍♀️ & he put himself to sleep within minutes! Tonight i went to sit down with him and he threw a little fit so I just let him lay on the floor and sure enough within a few minutes he went to sleep.

But here’s the catch- if I try to put him in his crib to fall asleep he FREAKS out. He has to be completely asleep before I can put him in there. I have tried before in the past and it never worked out. I tried to get him to lay in his crib for his nap today and he freaked out and it took me almost an hour to get him to sleep.

So do I let him keep putting himself to sleep in the floor? Or maybe try changing him to a toddler bed?
