Ladies..really need your help!!
Hey Ladies,
I have a 6 month old little boy and trying to get him to go to sleep is an absolute nightmare!! He falls asleep quite happily when he is with someone, but as soon as he is in his cot he wakes up and screams for hours! Some nights are ok, and eventually he does go to sleep but some nights i really cant bare to hear him cry so i cuddle him til like 2 in the morning!
As you can probably gather, im exhausted now and could really do with some tips off you, if anyone can help!! Has anyone ever had this problem? and how can it be helped??

one thing that did work to get her to settle in her cot by herself at bedtime was to feed her so very asleep then dress her to stir her so that her eyes were open when put in cot - then we found on nights where she was more awake she would settle herself.
Also establishing a good bedtime routine - so she knew it was bath, feed, bed helped.
I know how you feel with the crying I can't stand hearing Louise cry and if left she just gets herself very worked uo and then has no chance of settling herself.
