Anyone have a problem with...

...getting LO to stay asleep!  I have no problems getting DS to go to sleep for naps or at night. But especially at night he won't stay asleep. Bedtime always used to be between 8 and 9 and all of a sudden he wasn't going to bed until 10 or 11. We have got it back down to 9:30 or 10 but want to get it back to 8 or 9. Like I said he is tired and will fall asleep but either, wakes up as soon as we set him down or sometimes he will even lay down and wake up a couple minutes or even 10 minutes later.  He is completely out, last night DH could pull up his pj's and check for a poop without him waking up. We set him down, went to our room and within 5 minutes he was awake again. Also, once he is asleep he is out, will sleep 4 to 5 hours and when he wakes up he eats and goes right back to sleep. Help!

Have you tried white noise and swaddling? These 2 things are crucial to keeping my LO asleep.

Yes we have a white noise machine that plays ocean waves, it's the closest to us making the shooshing noise which calms him. And we haven't been able to swaddle him since he was a week old.  He hates it and kicks out of it anyway
