Decided that after faffing around with being worried about ds's eating and everyhting that I have just been avoiding the big one - sleep. He has never yet (9mth) got himself to sleep. Either in the buggy (rare now), in the car (rarer still - gets furious instead) and best of all on the breast. I think that unless he learns to sleep byhimself at the begining of the evening it is going to be pretty tough and bewildering to tell him he suddenly has to do byhimself through the night. (currently still in our bed so just self-serves). He likes to be put deep asleep in his cot for the evening. If I put him when he is lulled/half asleep (let alone less than this) he wakes up immediately and goes bonkers. I have tried leaving him and/or my dp going to him but it just goes on and on and on. It has to be fast asleep or nothing doing. If we are in the room hates it (if we are not holding him and even if we do hold him cheers up but will not consider sleeping); if we are out of the room hates it. Any thoughts or ideas? How has anybody else done it??? Waiting with baited breath. Thanks.
