Hi Mommies, and Mummies! My ds is a few days shy of 10 mos. (already!) and we had success with shush/pat and PU/PD and self soothing at around 6-7 mos. when we started his his new routine, but then he got a bad cold, we went on holiday, and now that he is able to pull up to stand in crib we've gone back to bad AP and been bf to sleep since baby refuses to lie down while awake. We simply just haven't had the patience, with dh working 12 hr days 5 days a week, to do PD and deal with crying for who knows how long - probably hours, to get dh to fall asleep on his own. He's waking up between 1 and 3 times a night and I would really love for him to go back to self soothing and sleeping thru the night - not just for dh and myself, but for him. :?
I need some encouragement, advise, tips, strategies, wisdom. Its so hard to make the poor baby cry when it would be so easy just to give him a boob, and 10 minutes later put a sleeping baby down in his crib.
