My little sleep dodger is 4.5 months old. Sleep has been an issue since 9 weeks when he started waking every 45 mins to an hour. That has improved slightly so overnight we now get a 2-3 hour stretch generally, but he can take an hour to resettle.
His naps have reduced to 20-30 minutes even if sleeping on me, and takes an hour or so of rocking to get him to sleep, during which he cries hysterically.
We started pu/pd yesterday, he settles when picked up then screams in fury when put down, and we ended up rocking him in the pram anyway. Overnight very similar, did eventually sleep but only when we rocked the cot /fed to sleep. Both of us are exhausted and not sure what to do. He's too young for controlled crying, which I am not sure I could do anyway and laughs in the face of shush pat ect.

To ask if pick up/put down has worked for anyone?
