Hi My 2nd DS has developed a terrible attitude to moses basket and cot. He has to be ferried around with 1st DS in the day so naps as and when in pram or car seat (not ideal, but reality).
When he is put down at night for 7pm, he lasts about 5 minutes till full screaming. this continues ALL evening with settling, putting down, 5 minutes etc... till about 11pm, when I bring him in with me, and he sleeps soundly next to me till 7-8am.
sleep is not the problem - he will sleep once held by me or by my side. it is not a need for more milk as I started babyrice last week and my milk is fine. My 1st DS was hard to settle at night and we did controlled crying at about 9 months.
Any ideas? its as if he is fully addicted to me, i know im his mother! but with a talkative 3 year old, the 24 hour shift with my 5 month old is killing me. Is 5 months too early for walking away a bit more.... before coming back and settling? hubbie and i struggling....
