My DS is 12 weeks old and we have just moved him into a cot bed in his own room (up until now he has been in a moses basket in our room). He has always slept on his side due to reflux when he was tiny, but now that he is bigger he rolls over onto his back (in spite of a towel behind him) and his wakes him up. He then starts thrashing around until he eventually wakes up and starts to cry. I get up and turn him back on his side and he goes back to sleep. But I am getting up every 45 minutes from 1am onwards and I cannot go on like this any more.
I need some advice on how to get him to get himself back off to sleep (we have always put him down asleep). Is he too little doe do a modified version of controlled crying? Should I leave him to cry for a few mins then go and re-settle him? Really desparate to do something to resolve this problem
