Gabe's been crying for half an hour now. He's SO over tired its untrue...only had 1/2 hours sleep all day.
He's showing no signs of stopping BUT i know if I go in to him, he will cry even harder when I leave and be impossible to settle!! He is 16 months so it's not like I can rock him to sleep - he just wouldn't let me...He usually falls asleep fine all by himself since he was born...
What do I do? Just let him cry & cry till he stops?? I can't see any other answer but it sounds like he will never stop and im tearing my hair out listening to it....just want to turn off the monitor and scream!!!!!!!!

I go in every 10 mins, pick him up, calm him down and then put him back in his cot. He invariably starts screaming again but I turn the lullabys on on his monitor and leave him.
Big hugs, listening to them cry sucks, Millie screamed herself to sleep tonight :roll: (also over tired) so you have my sympathy hun.

Hes asleep now - I had to lie down with him till he went though - so he's in my bed which = restless night for me lol as I daren't risk moving him now. Not that I mind as he's so lovely & snuggly, I just wish he wouldnt take up the whole bed lol
Thanks everyone xx think I'm soft but I've never left him cry that long before, it was really upsetting.
We no longer use the monitor now though!
I just let J whinge unless shes proper crying. I go into her room and lie on the floor with my eyes shut! Eventually she will fall to her mattress and lie her head down and soon silent. I open my eyes a few mm so i can see what shes doing.
We only ever ahve J in bed with us if she wakes at 5 in the morning. To early for me to attempt to get her back to sleep! Shes wriggles too much and I lies in bed every angle but the right way!
Hope you have a good nights sleep x
hope Gabe has settled now xxx
