Help me get 9 month old back into cot after holiday

[Shootingstarsandcomets]

We've been on holiday recently and ds 9 months refused to sleep in his travel cot so we co slept for 10 days. We also resorted to feeding him again after having not fed him in the night for 2 months. Of course now we are home he gets hysterical when I try and put him to bed. Before holiday we would do his bedtime routine and then i could put him in his cot awake and he went to sleep without crying and didnt wake until morning. Now he gets so cross and I've tried gradual retreat and he just continues to scream and grab at me through the cot bars, he's also waking twice a night for milk.
Any advice? Should I do cc?

No real advice but I'm currently going through this with my 8 month old. She has been co sleeping with me for 2 months after a trip overseas so I have quite a battle on my hands. Now we're back home she screams every time I put her in the cot. Last night I decided it was time to start getting my bed back. Each time I put her back under her covers she would scream and stand up clinging to her cot bars. I repeated the process several times until she was so tired from crying the last time I tucked her in she didn't fight me and just closed her eyes and went to sleep. I managed to have two hours of proper lie down sleep!

How long did it take to get her to go in? I've only sat by the cot for max half an hour before I cracked as it felt so cruel to be say next to him with him screaming and grabbing at me through the bars. Should I have persevered I wonder?

She didn't cry for more than an hour. I did keep going back every few minutes to tuck her in and tell her it was bed time. I leave the room because I can't handle watching the tears roll. I would say that after the first night she has improved quite a bit. Last night I fed her and tucked her up and left the room. I only had to go back in once to tuck her up and say goodnight. She slept from 7-11 which for her is pretty good. She still ended up in bed with me at 3am feeding but I'm just happy she's sleeping for some of the night without being attached to me!! The screaming is really hard to take but I'm not really sure what the alternative is?

That sounds like an improvement. I'm not sure what the alternative is either, I think once we are set to be home for a few weeks I will get tough and do the cc. I know we will all be happier once he can self settle.
