Doing cc again.. need some advice

[shish]

We have done cc a couple of times and it has worked really well - ds has been sleeping through for 10-11 hours at night. Last week he was really sick in the night, vomiting in his sleep, so we kept him with us for a few nights. Now his nights are usetteled again and we have decided to do another round of cc. The only problem is that now he can sit up by himself and stand up in his cot. Do I go in and lie him down if we are doing cc or leave him to work it out for himself?? I'm worried that when we go in it will wind him up more..

How old is he Shish?

Sorry - he's 10 months old. We'd previously done cc when he was about 7 months old and then again about a month ago.

Probably best to start with a gentle type of "shush/pat" cc - lying him down first. he prob wont settle himself if he's standing up - but expoct a racket - esp if the cot is near the wall (bang, bang..)

So lie him back down, shush/pat him and leave the room as I did before?? And keep doing this every time he stands/sits up??

Pretty much.

It might be a bit rough, as he's learned a new trick (and wont be shy about showing it), but if your comfortable with cc, carry on as you have said.

(but make sure the cot isnt against the wall.)

my ds has been standing up in his cot since he was 7 mths old. When i did cc ( around the same time) I lay him down and patted his bottom and said sshh..

I can't seem to shrug the one wake up around 4am - he settles very quickyl so i'm not pushing it!

The 'official' line is not to lie them down - just to leave them as they are and let them sort themselves out. That's how we did it.

Lying him down seemed to work. It took a couple of nights and the last 2 nights after that have been quite good.. Fingers crossed this will continue

good to hear - i guess we'll file this under the dreaded "whichever works for you"
