DS Blake is still causing me grief in the sleep department.

He's been doing really well for the last couple of days going down for his daytime naps. I put him into bed awake and he talks for a while and then puts himself to sleep.

The problem is at night time. I'm putting him into bed awake at his bedtime, and he's lying there crying and complaining - not talking like daytime - and can't get himself to sleep.

I can't work out why. Routine is the same. Any suggestions?????

He also has problems settling himself back to sleep overnight and I'm forever getting up to him... like about half a dozen times a night. Any suggestions on this one?

I'd like to say I'm 'responding to his needs and gently conforting him back to sleep' but I'm so lacking in the sleep department from constantly getting up and spending up to an hour at least once a night 'comforting' him that I'm getting to the end of my ability to cope.

I'm prefer not to have to take him to 'sleep school' to overcome this, but I'm getting short of options.

Help!
