16month old mindee. He's never (hardly ever) slept more than 10 mintues during the 9-10 hours a day that I have him.
He hasn't ever slept in cot - screams until he's sick, even starts screaming at bottom of stairs and is sick by the time we reach the top, so that's a no-no.
He will only sleep in buggy, in upright position (not reclined)
His routine at home was - put him in car seat/buggy in dining room with tv on, his older brother under a blanket on flor and leave till they fell asleep.
He gets picked up from here at 5.30 every day and is bathed and bedded by 6pm, 6.15 at latest. He is, therefore often awake by 4am So now he's wanting to sleep by 11am, and , if left will sleep till 1pm ( 3 hours max). However, the problem is his older brother is picked up at pre school at noon. So if he's sleeping I have to waken him,(which result sin cligning scremaing crying all afternoon, and I mean all afternoon) if he's not sleeping then he won't go over till about 1pm, then will only sleep for 10 minutes, then spend the rest fo the aftenroon clinging to me, screaming if I move, etc. I spent 4 hours sitting on the floor with him yesterday as if I tried to move he made himself sick screaming, this obviously isn't good for the other mindees I have.
Could appreciate some advice on how to deal with this
