DS, who typically goes down so easily, has had such a hard time of it these past 2 nights. Normally, it's BF, a little rocking in the rocking chair and then plop into the cradle and he's down. For the past 2 nights, he starts out with a grizzle and then escalates to a full on cry (full blown hysterics) - and this is while either DH and I are holding him (we get him after a few minutes of grizzling when we can tell it's not going in the right direction). It took us from 6:45 - 9:15 tonight to calm him enough to put him back down in a relaxed state he could fall asleep from! (there are nappy checks, clothing checks, hair around finger toe checks, burp checks during this time).

He's going down for his daytime naps without a problem and doing his normal long day naps. We can feel a tiny nub and he's drooling like crazy but this has been going on for weeks now. I know he's also at a wonder week (adjusted age 20 weeks on Thurs) and he seems to be changing daily in terms of what he can do. Could this be the cause? I guess it doesn't really matter why anyway, but I'm wondering.
