Hi there All

Brodie has decided in the last 3 days that he doesn't want to sleep in his cot at night.

He has been waking around 1am screaming and won't settle unless it's in my arms.

He falls asleep pretty much straight away but as soon as I place him back into his cot he screams blue murder.

I have tried to soothe him in the cot -dummy, bonjella, light taps, music etc - i have tried it all - unfortunately the only thing that works is if he sleeps with me.

I end up sleeping with him on a mattress on the floor in his room and my biggest concern is that this is becoming a BAD HABIT!!! - I want to sleep in my own bed

So I suppose what I'm wondering is has anyone been through this and what did you do to stop it??

He is teething again and this little boy suffers very badly - let's just say we ended up in hopsital last time he was teething with a 40+ fever- the doctors couldn't work out what was wrong with him and low and behold a tooth popped out the next day and he was all fine - however he teeths for ages before the tooth finally makes it the surface - so spending sleepless nights on the floor in his room really isn't my preferred option.

Does anyone have any tried and tested methods?? I'm getting desperate now

thanks in advance - i'm prepared to try anything
