sobbing boy

Not sure what's going on, but bedtime's not going down like usual round these parts. Little guy is sobbing like there's no tomorrow. I've gone in a few times to try to comfort & make sure he still has his blankie, and he calms down, but as soon as I get out of the room - tears & sobbing erupts.

Poor little guy. I hate hearing him so sad, but I'm not sure what I can do.

Every minute.seems.like.an.eternity.listening.to.him.sob.

    Aww.  Maybe he just needs extra long cuddles tonight.

    awww, poor baby! I know around these parts, we'd definitely go in! We're such softies!

     But seriously, if this behavior is abnormal, then maybe he's coming down with something, or going through a form of separation anxiety?  

    When DS was going through a sleep regression like 2 months ago where he'd wake up like 2 hrs after we put him down, we brought him to the living room to cuddle & watch one 15 minute episode of Thomas. Then he was ok going back to sleep. I know it's not a good habit, but we made an exception & it got us through the rough patch!

    Hey!  You're not alone.  Us too.  Mine wasn't sobbing though, more like manic screaming for an hour.  I finally had to hold him down and rock him to sleep.  N has a cold or something going on though, so I know a breathing treatment coupled with nose sucking just did him in tonight.

    Oh no, poor sweetie!  I hate the sobs, the screaming I can almost handle, but the sobs break my heart too.  Hope he can settle down and rest easy tonight.

    Thanks for the commisseration. He's finally asleep! I went in and laid next to him for a while, sang him some lullabies, and then left again. Sob, sob, sob. So I just had to come downstairs and do something else. He must have tired himself out.

    I hope he's not coming down with something, but he's been really clingy the past two days or so, so I wouldn't rule it - or separation anxiety - out.

    It made me have flashbacks to the first year, though, when this was more the norm. I'm so impressed at those of you brave enough to do tough bedtimes x 2 with new little babes!

    Also - we really, really need to put some wd40 on the nursery door - creak, creak, groan.
