Okay, this is what we're doing:
Lots of cuddle.s
'Night night. Have a good sleep'.
Leave to cry for 2 mins.
Go in and cuddle until calm.
'Have a good sleep'
Leave to cry for 4 mins.
Go in and cuddle.
Leave to cry for 6 mins.
Go in and cuddle.
Leave to cry for 8 mins.
etc
It's now Day 5 and DS (nearly 2yrs) still cries, sobs, throws his bed toys out, etc. We manage to get him to sleep anywhere between 12min interval and 14 mins. We thought we had a breakthrough last night when he slept after the 6min interval but now, during his lunch time nap, he's still crying and we're on the 18min interval.
What am I doing wrong??? Please help if you can.
I thought it was supposed to get easier after Day 3 but he doesn't seem to have calmed down at all.
