I am an EASY believer with an almost 3 year old who almost never has had a sleep problem.
Along comes the next one. Worked on PU/PD at 1 month, again at 3 months, 5 months, 8 months, now at almost 11 months, still not really "getting it." Goes into crib fine, but cries and cries unless I go in and let him hold my hand for 5 minutes to drift off. Am I the prop?
Next problem, wakes at different times on different nights. Sometimes he's wide-eyed and ready for play, sometimes is "screaming" and can't comfort him. We have done it all - patting, shh shh, paci, bottle, hand holding, ignoring and on different nights, different things work.
I need guidance on where I went wrong. I need to sleep thru the night and not fear "what's going to happen tonight?"
