My DS, 8 1/2mths has been going down awake in his cot for 4mths. Recently he's learned how to pull himself up the bars and cruise along. Now, when he's put down for a nap, he's pulling himself up straight away rather than nodding off to sleep.
Part of the problem is that he can't yet get back down therefore he's stuck. He'll babble to himself then realise he can't go anywhere and he'll cry. It seems that no matter how tired he is, he'll still pull himself up.
The only way to get him to sleep is to lift him out, let him fall asleep on my chest then transfer him back to the cot. But I don't think this is the best long term solution.
Any ideas? Thanks
