Ds used to sleep through absolutley fine and has no probs being put down for his nap in the day or at bedtime and goes straight off to sleep, he's 14 months old
for the last couple of months after teething and then having a nasty cough he has started waking in the middle of the night at 4am, he used to have a bottle and then go back to sleep, but now it has gotten to the point where last night he went to bed for 7.30pm and then woke at 10pm! He wasn't hot,cold or in need of a clean nappy I gave him a bottle and between 12 and 3am he dropped off on my knee several times and I waited until he was snoring before I took him up to bed, but as soon as we get up/slah enter his room the shrieking starts
he then starts squirming to be put down and it all starts again
We tried him in our bed, but that was a no go and dh basically ended up bringing him downstairs at 4am and sleeping on the sofa with him
we've tried leaving him to scream but he just gets more and more worked up and will be stood up in his cot in hysterics
We cannot carry on like this, I have 2 other lo's and cannot sleep in the day he is only having a nap for 2 hours in the morning! I just do not know what to do, ds1 would only go to sleep if you were holding him but would sleep in bed with us, and we never had many probs with dd at this age
TIA
