| I had similar problems when my son was 8 months but i had breastfeed then rocked or carried to sleep and always picked him up in the night. So i tried differnt things - i let him cry while i was in the room and it took an hour the first night (for the 7pm sleep) then quicker each night - not sure he even knew iwas there. then was the issue of not picking him up in the night - some ways that was harder - it took nearly two hours of crying (stop and start) and me standing there soothing him explaining - i felt terrible but it worked and i was with him the whole time - i had to do it he was heavy and needed more sleep!
naps were another issue but what worked in the end was baby whisperer pick up and put down. basically when they stand lie them back down saying same things eventually they don't get up and you can comfort if ]really upset |
