DS is 6 months old. Bedtime is bath, story, bottle and into cot. He gets a bit fussy which leads to upset. I pick him up, sing him a song and within 5-6 minutes he's spark out in my arms. I put him in his cot at around 6.30 and I don't see him again until morning (DH does a dream feed at 1 am).
Why am I getting such a hard time from people saying he needs to settle himself or he needs to be left to cry?
We tried controlled crying which lasted 2.5 hours. DS was distraught. I was knackered and upset and I just kept thinking he'd have gone to sleep within minutes if I just gave him a cuddle (which I did after the 2.5 hours but it took him about half an hour to calm down).
