My son usually wakes once or twice a night, and when he does he immediatley stands up in his cot and crys for me or his dad. I have read that it is normal for babies to wake in the night and settle back to sleep by themselves but my little one doesn't seem to do this, and there is not much chance he will settle back to sleep once he is standing up awake! I have also read that babies need to be able to settle themselves back to sleep and am worried he wont be able to learn to go back to sleep by himself if he persists standing at night...I have heard the standing thing is also a phase and it will stop but it seems to have been going on forever! I used to feed him to sleep but now mostly i settle him in his bed and rub his tummy until he falls to sleep, I cannot leave the room until he is asleep, because he will stand. Im also worried that by staying in the room rubbing his tummy will leave him unable to go to sleep without me there, I cant leave the side of his cot at all because he will stand straight away regardless of how tired he is. Any ideas?
