Hi All
DS has not been a great sleeper for a while now... he wakes up a couple of times a night now...
I used to feed and/or rock him in our arms to sleep... that worked for a while... then a few weeks ago he went through a stage where he would wake up yelling and only want to sleep on our chests (sitting in the rocker) - for up to an hour at each wake up when we would sneak him into the cot...
Now he wakes and we are able to comfort him usually in the cot, he will roll over onto his side and we can pat him... he will quiet and shut his eyes and go to sleep. then we either keep patting a little or sit next to the cot for a bit... but he wakes and starts crying when we leave.. or if he stays asleep when he stirs and sees we are no longer there starts crying. I guess it is still an improvement on the past when we had to feed or rock but does anyone have any suggestions how to deal with this or have any of you been through it?
he is 10.5 months.
TIA.
