Sorry for the essay, but if anyone has time to read it and has any advice I would really appreciate it!!!!! my son is 6 months old, he has always been a really good sleeper, he sleeps through the night and has been sleeping in his own room for a few weeks now. I know we are lucky because he is doing amazing and sleeps for 11 hours every night.
But.... he has always been fairly easy to settle, we would just put him in his bassinet and he would roll onto his side and fall asleep himself. He has a pretty solid bedtime routine, bath and bed at the same time every night.
For some reason, I don’t know if it’s down to teething as he got his first two teeth this past week, or that he’s in his own room now and in a cot rather than a bassinet, or if it’s a bit of everything, but he is starting to fight his sleeps both during the day and at night. THE only way to get him to sleep, is to bounce and rock him until he’s asleep and then lie him in his cot. I would have preferred not to start rocking him, but when you have a teething, tired, screaming baby you will do anything to comfort them and help them to settle!
I don’t mind rocking him a little before bed but it’s becoming so bad that the second he knows he’s going to sleep he starts fighting against it and I’m having to rock him for quite a while to get him to sleep. It’s even starting to disrupt naps in his pram when we are out and about. So I want to try and make his sleep times a little easier now before this goes on for a long time!
I’ve thought about giving him a comfort teddy (he doesn’t have a dummy) to get used to while we are rocking him in the hope he will start using that to get to sleep rather than our arms 
Anyone?
