    My DS is exactly the same. He is even worse if DH is the one trying to settle him. He is getting much better though so perhaps it is something they grow out of?? I am watching for his tired signs and then sit down on the couch relaxed and prepared for the battle. Sorry I dont have any real advice, sounds like you have tried everything. Like I said my DS is getting much better now, I hope that your does too.

    It just so freaking frustrating. He is a gorgeous happy little man and then the minute I start the bed-time routine he cracks it.

    Do you think I should drop a day time sleep, even if he is giving me tired signs? We usually do feed, play sleep 3 hourly during the day.

    Melham74: Perhaps it is a developmental thing. Seems like bubs do it at different ages.


    I guess it is just really getting to me at the moment. Dh is working from 1.00pm to 11.00pm and doesn't get home until after 12.00midnight so I am dealing with it all day and all night.

    I guess I'll just keeping going with the flow and hopefully he will grow out of it otherwise I'm going to have biceps like Pop-eye

    Wow Celtic, it seems like there are plenty of us going through this.

    I was thinking of getting one of those mobiles for the cot that lights up so as to distract him while he cracks it. You are right, he seems more distressed in my arms which gets me down but I am willing to try anything.
