He used to be a really good sleeper and was actually starting to sleep through the night but, suddenly he is just a very light sleeper and very needy of me.
He gets up in the morning between 8-8:30. Then he eats breakfast and plays the rest of the morning with me and his older brothers. He has lunch and then goes down for a two hour nap no problem...I put him down with a bottle and he goes to sleep on his own. When he gets up we play some more and have a snack. Then he has supper at 5:00 and a bath at 6:30. Then he plays until 8:00 which is his bedtime. We always go in and read a book and I rock him and sing usually three songs to him. Then I put him down with his bottle...he never cries when I put him down and leave the room. He goes to sleep on his own about 95% of the time. After about three or four hours have gone by and usually just after I get into bed he starts to wake up. When he wakes up he will not go back to sleep in his bed and he doesn't just cry when I try to lay him back down he is screaming. So, I end up in the spare bed with him and sometimes I manage to sneak out if I put a couple of pillows beside him. sometimes I think that it is the bed that he likes more than me.
I have really tried to do a lot of different methods over the past few months but, I always get the same response which is screaming. I do not have Tracy's book but, I think that I am going to go out today and look for it. There has to be something out there that will work for my little guy!
Thanks and hope this gives you some more info.
