sounds silly but how can i get my 10 month old to lie down?!!

[billysmummy]

my ds is 10 months old and since he has discovered how to pull himself up about a month ago he will not lay down in his cot no matter how exhausted he is! will he get bored and grow out of it or does anyone have any tips on how i can encourage him not to stand up in his cot all the time? bed times are becoming such a hassle!

[starlover]

put him in a grobag?

[billysmummy]

this does work!! but am worried now the weather is (supposedly) getting warmer that he will overheat!

[jessicasmummy]

gro bag and only a nappy solves that problem.... jess is 10 months too but cant pull herself up in the cot because she is in her gro-bag!!!

[starlover]

i don't use one myself... but i think you can get summerweight ones which are about 0.5 tog?

[TrophyWife]

go with the grobag...

[billysmummy]

will keep an eye out for lighter weight gro bags didnt realise they existed thank you!!

for now will put him down in just nappy and gro bag when its warm wish me luck! thank you!

i dont want to discourage you billysmummy at all, but my ds could stand in his grobag.. but grobags are great none the less.

ditto to what dinosaur said about just going in, laying him back down, no talking, no cuddles...

hang in there!!

Have a look on ebaby for a summer weight grobag, they're a lot cheaper on there.

My dd has a set bed time of 8pm if still awake after her last bottle she goes into her cot with her musical light show on. She screams standing up over side of cot for a bit and then will sometimes fall asleep sitting up or will lye down when exhauseted. Do just hang in there. He will learn that his cot is for sleeping.
