Really losing patience over naptime/ bedtime

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

DS has totally regressed when it comes to going to sleep.  We ferberized at  8 months and he had been going down without a peep and sttn in his crib.  For the past 2 weeks, he will scream as soon as we put him in his crib.  He also wakes up at least 3x/night and I've finally broke down and bring him to bed with me so I can sleep.  The last couple of days, I've been keeping him out on errands until he finally conks out and I don't have to battle with him over naps.

I feel awful letting him cry.  Doing Ferber once was enough for me and I'm kind of pissed that we may have to do it again.  However, I don't want him to think he can get his way with sleeping.  If I go in and comfort him when he cries, he usually starts smiling at me and wants to play.   Obviously, he  knows what's going on.  Someone just tell me I need my big girl panties and that I need to let him cry!  Also, he's otherwise extremely happy so I don't think it's an ear infection or something like that.

    Something could be bothering him, whether teething or separation anxiety. Either way, if he sees you and is happier, it's not the same as "letting him win." You could try the "No-Cry Sleep Solution" book as well.
