My 9mo (nearly 10mo) DS used to be relatively easy to put down but has never slept well - always up in the night at least twice, usually 3 hourly. He goes through spells where he will sleep for a day or two until 4/5am and I think I have cracked it but of course I haven't.
Just recently he's started crying if I leave him and won't go to anyone else. If DH tries to settle him in the night he wails like he's in pain. This is totally out of character (apart from the DH part ) as he's usually quite a confident, sociable baby.
Evenings have got to be a nightmare. He won't let me leave his room, wants to hold my hand while he is in his cot, doesn't settle and instead of our previously calm bedtimes I now have a screaming, overtired, fussy mess of a baby and no evening. He's also waking regularly in the night for reassurance - as if we needed more wakings, and screaming when I put him down after a night feed.
Anyone else in the same boat?
