Our 9 month old is progressively becoming a bad sleeper (well he's never been great!). We taught him to self settle fairly easily at around 5 months and although couldn't resettle himself at night, he continued to self settle for naps until he learned to crawl. Now it's a case of doing anything that works to get him to sleep.
He is bottle fed and very rarely falls asleep on his bottle. I used to be able to rock him to sleep (something I don't mind doing) but he now fights this majorly! We have attempted a few sleep training methods but as soon as he's upset he projectile vomits. This obviously can't be a nightly occurrence and is upsetting for him and us.
Any suggestions of how to teach him to self settle? He wakes about twice or three times a night on a bad night which isn't bad but he can be up for two or three hours before he will go back down. I can't leave him even for a few minutes as he is sick within seconds of crying. He also gets upset if I try to sitting next to his cot stroking his hair etc.
Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance
