so how does PU/PD work when ds keeps standing up?

[babber]

attemptd to do pu/pd for his nap and he just immediately stands up as soon as i put him down in his cot (he is 10mo and not quite walking yet). not sure how to work around this? do i just keep lying him down? can't see how this is ever going to wotk tbh!
advice please!!!

Sorry I can't help, but bumping in case anyone else can, and also because I am in a similar position with my 10mo DS. Feeding to sleep worked beautifully (I know, I know ) until the last few nights, when he has gone bananas when put down. Have had a go at PU/PD but he just keeps screaming full on even when held, and if put back in his cot he screams and stands up. Have just left him for 15 mins and he seems to have cried himself to sleep - feel v bad about that I may have to start another thread about his break in routine but hoping for some more replies here for you.

Yes, as soon as they are fully standing you lie them straight back down til they get the message/get too tired and settle down. But with my DS1 it could take up a LONG time for him to give in!

Just resurrecting this thread as i seem to be having some difficulty with this whole thing! So... do i just lie him down each time he stands up regardless of if he's crying or not? I have been doing the pu/pd but it has proved impossible as i pick him up, put him down a couple of times, and by then he is beside himself and so worked up i don't get the opportunity to put him down again and the only thing that will calm him down is to BF... which sort of defeats the whole object...
is my ds too old for this method? (10.5m)
i really want him to be able to settle himself because he is waking A LOT in the evenings and throughout the night at the moment but when he's crying, even if i am holding him, and i know that i can stop it, and get him to sleep almost instantly by offering boob i find it so hard to let him cry and get upset, which in turn gets me upset! I suppose i'm just not cut out for these crying techniques... but have been trying the gradual removal method when BFing to sleep at night but i'm not even sure if i'm doing that right as it seems to be having absolutley no effect whatsoever....
can anyone offer and advice or words of encouragement???
thanks!

I'm going through the same thing. Just tried the pu/pd thing and did not like it. My baby cried in a way that just left me in tears also.
I have been reading a book which suggests the Dad should be the lead in this pu/PD method if Mum can't take the crying. It says to only let the one parent carry out the method for 2-3 days straight as changing parents is like starting over. It also says never to have both parents in the room as the other parent only serves to distract the baby. It apparently should only take the 2-3 to establish the desired sleep technique. Both parents can take it in turns after 2days so that the baby gets used to both parents putting them to sleep.

The book also has testimonies of parents who have exercised the technique and one mum said she had to leave the house while Dad employed the PU/PD method as it was too traumatic to hear the baby cry...
I'm just going to keep trying. I will give it a week before I try again and this time get my husband to try it with me off visiting some where or with the ipod blaring in my ears! Its for the best in the long run but geesh its hard!!
