Hi, my 5 month old has started screaming every night at bedtime. He naps well during the day, and will fall asleep on his own, but at night he prefers to fall asleep on the breast and if he doesn't he cries, and cries once in his cot. We have tried pacing around the house, which would mean he would fall to sleep out of exhaustion after midnight. I have tried going back in every 5 minutes to comfort him, but the trouble is, he won't stop crying even with cuddles, nursery rhymes, hand-holding. Does anyone have any other suggestions - help!
