DC is 18 weeks & we've been so so lucky. Since about 8 weeks he's gone down for (mostly) all naps & bedtime & after night feed awake. He settles himself mainly by finger sucking, & we've only had to go up to him a handful of times after bedtime.
Until now. Four nights in a row now we've left the room & he's started screaming (literally - way beyond normal crying) & it's taken anywhere from 15-45 mins to calm him & get him to sleep. It's only been at bedtime though - all other times he's gone down fine.
At first I thought maybe teething - yesterday I gave him cal pol as he wouldn't stop screaming even in my arms. But I'm so worried that he's regressing and i hate the thought of bedtime being a scream fest from now on! Because he's never been rocked, cuddled, fed or dummied to sleep, I feel like I don't actually know how to get him back to sleep when he needs it...
Any advice? Could it just be teething? He's been very dribbly & has been chewing his & my fingers near constantly.
If it is the regression, will I just have to resort to any method to get him to sleep, and then try to break the habit later?
