Just got DS#2 to sleep after almost 3 hours of crying. He's never been one who STTN but he's been going to sleep at the beginning of the night on his own (awake) since around 8 weeks. This is night 6 of this. Nothing is that different, we already have a routine, yada yada yada. I don't expect any magic answers. Just frustrated that the little guy who is generally so happy and easy-going is suddenly a crying mess at night.
i feel for you..mine hasn't had much trouble going to sleep, but he has been waking up screaming at 4am for the past 3 days now..he used to sleep till 8 if you find the secret lemme know
I know it's a stupid question, but could he maybe be teething?
No, not stupid. We thought of this...but he's totally fine throughout the day, napping well, smiling through bedtime routine...we put him down and he starts chatting which escalates to crying and then hysterical crying. Who knows. At least I can look at his brother (who magically sleeps through the hysteria) and know that it will get better eventually!
