From the time my little guy was 5 months he has slept through the night from about 7:45 pm to 7am, that is up until about 3 weeks ago.
I have never had an issue getting him to bed and did not need any props. 3 weeks ago he started getting more difficult and refusing to sleep. The last 4 nights have been the worst. The minute he lays done he starts screaming, if I leave the room for even just a minute he will get himself so worked up he is choking and his whole body is shaking. I have been trying the pu/pd method but the last two nights he has gotten so worked up he has thrown up. After cleaning him up I sat with him for a few minutes and he was shaking he was so upset and I vowed never to let him cry again. When he is screaming he is standing up and constantly looking over his shoulder as if he is scared of something. I turned off his night light to get rid of the shadows but it did not make a difference, plus once he goes to sleep he is usually up around 3 or 4 in complete hysterics again. Someone please help me!!!!
Oh for the past little while he as been eating cereal before bed, could this be giving him nightmares?
