I rock my baby to sleep or my wife nurses him till he sleeps. However the moment we put him into the cot, he wakes up and starts screaming. Then we rock him to sleep and when we put him into the cot, he continues screaming. The cycle repeats till we are very shag. Anyone has ideas how to solve this?

My baby used to have such an issue. We were exhausted by the time baby fell asleep. In the end I used a few methods and it worked well. Firstly, I babywear her. Then I started walking and singing till she is in deep sleep. Research shown that a baby is in slumber deep sleep only after 45 mins. Then I will put her on her cot. Secondly I also tried to wrap her up tightly. She fell more secured and is more assured. When the baby is full n secured, they will sleep well. Thirdly I tried white noise or soothing music. These 2 buy me some time but didn't work as well as the prior methods.
