Am I asking for trouble by cuddling my DS to sleep, he's almost 10 months. Tried CC other night when he woke for no reason at 3am (fourth time that night!) - still up at 4.30am screaming his head off so I gave in and picked him up for a cuddle and he was asleep in minutes!! Usually he falls asleep at bedtime (try to stick to regular routine) during his bedtime bottle so difficult to put to bed awake. Was sleepy tonight but still awake so went upstairs with him and put him into bed but he went mad. DH eventually went up as I was close to tears and cuddled him which works very quickly. Don't mind the cuddles if they help him but I am worried it will lead to sleep problems for him later on. DS has just cut front top tooth (already has two bottom and two fangs!) and thought this might be part of the problem as he usedto be a really good sleeper (he needs his sleep like him mum and sleeps on till almost 10 in the morning if he's been up at night). He had a nasty cough that seemed to wake him every night at about 5am so i don't know if its just habit with him now. Tried calpol for teeth but worried about using it everynight and try bongela through the night if he wakes upset but its more that he wants to be lifted and cuddled to go back to sleep - should I just go with it and hope he grows out of it himself.
