I have a 10 mo ds who sleeps through the night about half of all nights so I know things could be worse. However, on nights when he does wake it takes us usually 2 hours to settle him. He cries till he is picked up then immediately settles down and sleeps in my arms. He goes nuts when put back in his cot though no matter how long he's been held for. Like I said this typically goes on for around 2 hours till he eventually settles. I'm at the end of my tether with it as there seems to be absolutely nothing wrong with him. Doesn't want fed, changed etc.
if its relevant he usually settles fine at bedtime with a bf then into cot drowsy but awake. He naps twice a day for 1-2 hours. Just pop him in his cot and he falls straight asleep.
So my question is do I need controlled crying as I feel like all the picking up and trying to soothe just keeps him awake in the end?? If so how do you do it?
Thanks.
