Rather late to the party here but OH.MY.GOD.
My little boy turned 10 months on the 1st November. The day he turned 10 months he started crawling. Since then, naps and bedtime have been HORRENDOUS.
Previously to this, he was napping happily in his cot x2 a day and having around 2.5/3 hours total nap time, and going to bed was easy as pie. He would drink his bedtime milk, we’d have a quick cuddle, he’d go down in his cot and I’d say goodnight, leave the room and within 15 minutes he’d be asleep after babbling to his bunny for a bit. He was sleeping through the night (occasional early waking but usually awake at 6/6;30am)....
Now I can’t put him down in his cot without a meltdown. If he goes down in his cot without a fuss, it takes him 0.00002 seconds to roll over onto his tummy, attempt to crawl, or sitting up in his cot then crying because he’s sat up and wants to lie down and go to sleep... I’m pulling my hair out! If I go back in to lie him back down he is hysterical. He doesn’t want me to touch him, but when I leave he is also screaming. I end up rocking him to calm him and he will then suddenly drift into a light slumber when I then put him down and he just goes to sleep like nothings happened... just to add, I’ve never ever rocked him to sleep before!
I just don’t know what to do. Not sure when it will end. Hopefully soon... I go back to work in 4 weeks and can’t stand the thought of work whilst bedtime is so stressful.
LUCKILY touch wood he is still having a relatively settled night, apart from waking at 4/5am.... he will settle back down after a bottle though and usually then sleeps too 6:30/7.
Totally wish I had a magic solution. But just here to leave my mark in hope someone else has any advice for us.
