Hi
I have a 10 mo old very needy high maint. baby. He was sleeping through the night for about 3 weeks in his crib waking at 630a-730a. That was 3 months ago. Prior to that he would wake about 4 am looking for a bottle but would go back to sleep immediately after. He is on a good schedule of naps about every 2 hours and would sleep about 30-45 mins. He gets 3 8 oz bottles a day and eats his meals well. My pediatrician tells me we should just let him cry and he will soothe himself, however it doesn't seem to work. I've let him go as long as 45 mins in his crib crying and he shows no sign of stopping. He has acid reflux so when I let him go too long, he is sick for days. I desperately need help. I am 6 mos pregnant and I need some sleep! The only way I can seem to get him to sleep and STAY asleep is to hold him and sleep with me. I can't continue this. I've tried letting him cry, I've tried the whole shush pat thing, I've tried getting him back to sleep and into his crib again only to have to go back and do it again every 30 mins to an hour or less. Im going out of my mind. PLEASE help me!
Thanks!
