DS has always breastfed to sleep but at 13mnths he is now taking longer and longer over it so he'll sometimes be lying there kicking for 2 hours. I've tried all sorts of things and am at my wits end. After an incident last week where I left him to cry for a couple of minutes to sort out DD, I found he had settled somewhat and went to sleep within a couple of minutes of me arriving back, I think controlled crying might actually be the kindest thing for us all.
So what bedtime do I start with? We try to get him to bed at 6.30 but he's been awake until 8.30 most nights this last couple of months. Do I try at 6.30 or go for his usual dropping off time when he'll be a bit more tired so hopefully the whole process will be a bit quicker or somewhere in between?
