dont no what to do
carson has decided to scream at night going to bed, no tears just crying and screaming and loosing his voice,he doesnt want to go bed, i end up picking him up and trying an hr later and he cries a bit but not as much, if he was over tired surely he would be worse when i put him back, yest i no his tired as rubbing eyes.i may try and put him down a little later? but other wise i dont no what to do. i felt awful yesterday as he cried for 30 mins and when i put arms in cot to try and lay him down he grabbed my neck and cuddled me! he is 7 months

What do you do in the lead up to bedtime?
I personally wouldn't move such a lo's bedtime later. How does he sleep through the day? Has this screaming etc at bedtime just started recently? If so it maybe (here comes the awful word) a phase and you just need to percevere (sp) for a few days/weeks or could he be teething? If so then use some powders/gels/calpol as needed????
Is any of that helpful?
As long as Oscar's not getting really upset and I know he's not hungry or anything then I just leave him in bed. He now has a cursory shout when I leave the room but if he's not tired enough for sleep he chatters to his teddy and plays the banging game until he tires himself out. Not ideal perhaps but at least there's no crying! Lol
i dont think he is teething as there are no tears and he stops as sonn as you get him out and plays. i guess its anger and he is testing the water? i usually putting him down between 7-8,depending on time he wakes from last nap. what time scale do you have from last nap to bedtime?
Does sound like he is testign the water and you need to be strong - it's hard tho isn't it!!!!
