Thanks for the hugs <3
It is really exhausting. I can handle the physical tiredness but the mentally and the emotially tiresness are killing. You're right, I do know that CIO is VERY bad and I really do NOT want to do it. I would'nt even know how. Him screaming for 2 minutes feels like 1 hour... So, never did that. Also don't think it will work except damaging him and of course we don't want that.
Ok, let's fix this!
Second nap, first attempt: 3.45pm. We did as always. Sleepingbag on, soft music and put him in bed. (he sleeps on his belly)
He stands up, fall down, plays, plays al little more, stands up again en starts screaming. Me coming in, placing him back on his belly, he screams more. And more, and more etc etc. Untill he is REALLY mad. So we'll take him out en try again after 10-15 minutes. Than the same story again...
He is not responding to settling. Stroking on his back will only make him more mad. Singing, talking, put hand on back does not work. Only picking him up will calm him down. When we do that and wait for him to calm down (what happens pretty fast) we can't put him back in again. As soon as we moving towards his bed he starts screaming again.
What is CN?
Today he woke up at 7am, slept from 10.30am till 11.45am (picking up sister from school so woke him up) and slept from 1.45pm till 2.45pm.
He was tired so I took him upstars at 6.10pm to BF him to sleep. He wwas asleep at 6.40pm.
Now it's 7.55pm and he is still sleeping.
