I know this will be a common issue with loads of people but if anyone can offer any advice or just words of support would be great! My 9 month has from the start had issues with sleep. I have never been able to get him to take his naps during the day and we have never gotten into any sort of routine. Every day is different. Some days he'll have a sleep in his cot, some days in his buggy, some in his sling. He has always fought sleep, doing anything he can to wake himself up when he is drifting off. I sometimes feel like he just doesn't like sleeping. When he's awake he's a really lovely, lively baby who loves being around people. The problem is that when he doesn't sleep he's very whingey and plus i don't feel like i have any time to myself at all during the day. He takes a dummy and i've been advised to take that away from him, also advised to let him scream. Neither appeal at the mo.... Anyway if anyone has any similar stories or advice then please do pass on.
