bedtime resistance
« on: January 11, 2007, 03:23:22 am »
Arrrrgh!  I am so frustrated!  My 6 month old falls asleep on his own for naps and stays asleep for around 2 hours, but cries and cries, getting all worked up, when we put him down for bed!  He is fed, bathed, showed signs of tiredness, but will not go to sleep!!!  We are in and out of his room trying to comfort him in his crib...but eventually it is near his next feed (on 4 hour EASY, but sometimes I feed earlier at night) and I feed him and then he is able to relax enough to go to sleep.  What do I do??!  I'm ready to cry!

Hi---  Just wondering what does this mean:

7:00   Theoretically Bedtime (put in fleece sleeper)

And does your fleece sleeper allow your baby to get to their hands???

Hi,
    No.  My lo usually sleeps with a swaddle, but sometimes he flops to his side before I can get it on him and he seems to prefer to sleep unswaddled.  Carina
