Chase is back to sleeping like a good boy. My routine is a nappy change, wear him out with playing then whack him on the boob and when he looks like he is sleeping on the boob I take him into the completely dark bedroom and swap sides to wake him up a tiny bit so he knows where we are then let him have some sucks until he is settled again. Then I take away boobie and stick him in the bassinett, tuck in his blanket then pat his bum. Then I say nigh nigh and leave the room closing the door so its completely dark. Some nights he will whine for a couple of minutes like he did tonight and then he just drifts off. Other nights he cries loudly for a little while so I go in there after a couple of minutes and pat the bum say nigh nigh and leave. If he still continues crying do the same thing but leave a longer amount of time before I go in there. On nights like those by the 2nd or 3rd time he eventually gives up and goes to sleep. I know its prob hard for you though sarah cos you have your other kids and for me its just me and DH so we can keep the house quiet when we are trying to put him to sleep (even though DH plays call of duty in the living room while i put chase to sleep and there are grenades going off everywhere doh!) i havent tried putting him in a cot to sleep yet, I might buy a heater for his room first then start trying. Just waiting to hear back about that job for DH before I go buying things.
