It broke my heart to hear him that sad, so I sat crying in the kitchen while Dan put him to bed. Finally, when Dan held him for comfort, he fell asleep in his arms. Our sweet little Elliot, what a cruel thing! It certainly doesn't work for everyone, that's for sure.
The reason we tried this is due to having been awake for hours every night these past two weeks, and being sleep deprived these past 16 months.
There is no way to help him fall asleep but to carry him around and rock him, or to put him in the pram and rock him. Approximately 30 minutes - 2 hours work EVERY time it's time to sleep.
We need a change; for him to be able to soothe himself and fall asleep (and go back to sleep) and for us to be able to be the great parents we want to be. This is quite hard when you're sleep deprived ;-)
What are your thoughts on this?
Love ❤
