maybe try to get him to a really sleepy state first rather than just putting him down wide awake and expecting him to nod off. Some babies don't master this for a long time.
- thats the thing, i wrap him, then feed then put the dummy in and he's nice and sleepy- eyes closed and all and then as soon as i put him in his cot he start being unsettled..
I
would suggest unwrapping him.. He is getting more distressed by not being able to move his arms freely I think.
Why does he have to keep a dummy in? Excuse my ignorance, Charlotte never had one, so I dont understand these things! lol
Also are the curtains closed the room seemed quite bright.
Thanks limeslice- i've tried not wrapping him but then he pulls the dummy out..i've tried not using the dummy but then he doesn't settle...its a vicious circle lol
It seems to me also that he doesn't want to be wrapped anymore because as you can see from the video he fights to get his arms up but then i've tried just putting him unwrapped and he thinks its play time and will play (which is fine with me) but that lasts all of 5minutes and he's back to crying.... maybe i just need to go cold turky with the wrap?? I'm reluctant to stop wrapping AND get rid of the dummy because he associates them both with sleep iykwim
