Finn screams bloody murder if he isn't bf to sleep.

This is so funny,

I noticed your thread above the others because my sons name is Finian - and then you are also describing the problem i have nowI He is 7 months and i am a single mother so I can't forsee being able to put him to bed without myself! but thanks I will look for that book at dymocks.

and for Finn - never lose hope that sometimes he might just go to sleep without any coaxing. It may only happen once a month, but I do believe it's good to keep his options open and don't settle on "he will always. ." Go with your gut, if you feel like doing something a little bit different, or your so sick of the routine you need to, try it. The last time this worked, he was wide awake, but calm. He was very tired and had been refusing to even drop off after his feed - he'd get on the boob then almost wake up as soo as he dropped off it, and get all animated again. so i walked about with him in my arms patting him on the bum, then on the shoulder, then when I got sick of it, I put him in his cot, tucked him in, his eyes were open, i turned out the light, patted him for about 5.5 seconds thenleft the room.

I live for moments like that, give him the chance to prove he can be a genius, and meantime I'm with ya sista, my boobs are sore and I REALLY hoping he can learn to go to sleep regularly without my boob.

P.S tomorrow night on t.v at 7.30pm on some commercial television is a program on settling babies - today tonight or something like that, good luck

No advice here, we're not at that stage, just wanted to say that the show on tomorrow night is A Current Affair. A BellyBelly member, Buzzie, will be on there
