Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this:
Since a few weeks ds screams his head of whenever I put him in his cot. He demands cuddles from mum and just won't/can't settle. It takes us 2 hours to get him to sleep (he will fall asleep when I hold him, but immediately starts screaming and kicking if I wanna lay him down)
Even during the day he demands cuddles from mum like every other 15 min!
Is this a phase?
Everyone around me says I should just let him cry as other wise I would spoil him.
They obviously don't gentle parent. My gut feeling is he is giving me a sign that he is just not coping on his own at the moment and I should follow his lead.
What do you think? Is it just a tantrum or is there more to it?

Thanks so much, I really believe in gentle parenting but seems to be the only one around here (family/ppl around me)
