Hi 
(after posting on other threads thought I would make my own post rather than hijack those posts too much)
DS used to happily self settle. We have a great bedtime routine (done it from birth!) and always put him in cot for nap time etc. We have had the odd month here and there where DS would sleep through every night. But usually we would expect him to wake up 3/7 nights a week for feeds.
But for past 2 weeks we have had nothing but terrifying and unusual screams from him come bed time? These screams also occur randomly in middle of the night. Not even his favourite, chamomile tea, seems to calm him down?
We now have resorted to walking the streets at bed time and sometimes in middle of the night till he falls asleep (partly for our sanity but also for our neighbours).
Any tips on how to calm him down would be greatly received. We are so close to considering sleep training or CC or something. But tbh idk how those would even work as he is very difficult to calm down once he starts crying.
Not sure we can cope on 5 hours of broken sleep a night for much longer (especially as I shouldnt really be having caffeine!)
TIA x
