| Carang,
he is usually good with babling and playing alone, but he starts crying when he is sleepy - that is when he needs some help to sleep. On good nights, he can settle with a pacifier and some patting. But that good habit (sleeping by himself with shush-patting) is gone since he became quite sick twice in a row 2 months ago. There was a period when he would not last half an hour in bed without waking up continuously. So we had to hold him so that he feels more secure , and he has been more regular with his sleep for the past few weeks.
We are trying to break the holding to sleep habit (itself another long story), but I jsut can't figure out why he doesn't seem to settle into a pattern although we now have a good schedule going. Some babies are like clockwork, I guess mine just isn't made that way. |
