I seem to be doing ok with the night time routine and he adapted to that really quickly and we have been doing that since he was 7 weeks old but for love nor money can not get his daytime routine sorted out at all.
I have tried taking him into our room where his crib is and its completley blacked out and have done shush pat with so calm him down ready for his nap but as soon as iits nap time he just cries and cries he is so tired but refuses to sleep eventully he will fall asleep in my arms and i put him down in his crib and sometimes he is ok sometimes he cries so i do shush/pat. the times he stays asleep he is ok for 30 to 45 mins but then starts crying in his sleep first its a little cry then a few mins later its a bigger cry and then its an all out screem and he wakes himself up. I have also tries when he makes the first cry putting my hand on his chest and doing shush but even that dosent seem to work.
I really am stuck now and would really appreciate some advice as im just so tired and hate to see my lo so distressed all day.
many thanks in advance
