My almost 12 mth old has never been the best sleeper. After months of feeding to sleep we developing to lying him in his cot and holding his hands while he went to sleep for naps and at bedtime.
He always woke about 3 hours after bed and came in with us for the rest of the night because he wouldn't again settle in his cot. This wasn't ideal but I'm back at work and we all got some sleep!
In the past week he's started cruising, cut a top tooth, started saying no and seems suddenly much more grown up!
However, instead of holding hands and happily going to sleep he's started screaming hysterically at sleep time. He's inconsolable and although clearly tired, will not calm down.
It's taken a car ride to calm him down enough to sleep but I don't want to resort to that and get into any more bad habits!
Has anyone got any tips or has been through this and can reassure us! It's horrendous!
I'm totally anti cc by the way.
Thanks
