We do the bedtime routine.. final feed (in room that we're sleeping in, low light), some quiet time... he gets drowsy, switch off the light and he'll scream. Sometimes it gets so bad we switch the light back on and he calms down and dozes off. Why does he react this way with the light off? When do i turn it off? Don't want to when he's fast alseep otherwise when he wakes he might freak out.
Then he refuses to be put in the crib so we hold him (whilst hes asleep) til next feed. By then, the lights are off and he'll happily go in the crib after that feed
so its not the dark thats the problem. Btw its not pitch black, there's a v.dim nightlight.
How do i fix this bedtime problem, the light, him being able to go in crib at bedtime feed and not the feed after? And make it less stressful for everyone?? Please help.
