Hi, just wondering if anyone has any ideas about what to do!
My nearly 5mo has gone through 4m sleep regression and nights are generally looking calmer with 2/3 feeds rather than the 11+ wake ups a night we've had over the last 8 weeks.
However, he now no longer likes being held or rocked to sleep for naps, and only settles himself in cot for his morning naps (no sleep training done, just kind of has worked this out by himself) and can't yet consistently settle himself during his afternoon ones so left struggling with a baby who doesn't want to be held, rocked or left alone for afternoon naps or bedtime! He cries when rocked and held and cries when lying next to me and cries when popped in cot. I'm sticking to all his appropriate wake windows for his age and am just running out of ideas as hate to see him cry and struggle.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what worked for you?
I really do not want to do any sleep training involving crying but I realise this is likely unrealistic and he's crying anyway 😢
