For the last few months we have had a nightmare time trying to get Stuart down to sleep. The problem started when he discovered he could stand himself up in his cot. Since then we have had to settle him ourselves either in the living room or in our bed.
However thanks to a sleep clinic sign that I saw in the Doctors we think we have cracked it. Been attending the sleep clinic for 2 weeks and they told us to put him in bed, leave him 5 mins then go check on him and put him back in a lying down position.
The first night was indeed horrendous and it took two and a half hours of this to settle him. However that time has been dropping and last night and tonight, he has gone straight to sleep!
Last night he woke up in the night at an unknown time but we’ve got one problem solved. The middle of night problem is going to be harder, especially with the dickhead upstairs banging on the ceiling when Stuart is crying in middle of night. It’s ok for him to make enough noise to have 6 stereos taken away by environmental health but woe betide us for trying to solve our son’s sleep disorder that was probably caused by the excessive noise from upstairs anyway!
