Willow - I'm so glad you added that. He's 11 weeks now - so I guess I might not see improvements for a while. I have realised that he's actually pretty good at self-settling initially (he'll be asleep within 15 mins if I just keep putting that dummy back in!) - but he really hates the resettle!! I find I can't resettle him in the cot at all & I just give up after 5-10 mins because he's crying & won't settle. Even if I pick him up to calm him down, he cries as soon as I put him in the cot. So at the moment, he is sleeping on my lap, on a pillow!
After weeks of resettling and me being really consistent with settling techniques, DS is now often able to resettle himself and will sleep for 1.5-2hrs at a time without a peep.
Congrats! What did you do to resettle him? Did you have a point at which you would give up on the resettle & just hold him?
