LONG sorry!!!!
Okay Ia m at the end of my rope. My 6 month old has been on EASy since birth. He was doing really well and was sleeping 10 hours straight starting at 3.5 months!! I should note he has never been a good napper - king of the 45min nap.
We are now waking several times a night - not really sure what prompted this - maybe teething or development. Me going back to work... But impossible to fix.
We tried breaking from the PAci - no help. PUPD- does not work b/c when you walk in the room and place hand on him - he settles - so no need for pupd. I have tried waiting longer before I go in- but before he gets to the full wail!!! But he can lay in his room and fuss for an hour before he starts to all out cry.
I think I am the prop - he wants to hold my hand. I tried an transitional object or two - no real success. Once you go in - roll him on his side and leave a hand on his back for 20 seconds he is fine. He just does not do it himself...
I looked at the day - as he has never been a good napper can not really tell if this is the issue. Routines and wind downs are the same - no change there...
I started BW becasue I do not want to do CIO - but what am i left with if I am the problem...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Help and advice needed!
