Hello
My DS is 9mths old and has just recovered from a throat infection and thrush which meant he did not want his dummy. We have now decided not to give it back!
The nights seem to be ok - he has never been a great sleeper, but used to love going to bed. Now he cries for a bit when we put him down, and we have had to use a bit of CC, which I am very bad at, but luckily only for 20mins (a long 20mins!)or so
The problem is daytime naps. He simply won't settle. Before he was ill he would have a really good am nap - 2 - 2/1/2 hrs. He has alway been a little erratic in the afternoon, but I could cope. Now having just looked after him through his illness, which I now have, I am really finding this hard. I even find myself being angry with him, and I love him so much.
Now he just cries and cries until we get him up. I have tried sitting with him, CC, PUPD, everything, but he just keeps crying until he is got up. I am finding this really hard. He is also starting to get a bit grizzly, and looks at me like he hates me! What can I do???
