My 9 month old, who used to be a great sleeper, is not sleeping anymore. Starting at 3 months he slept 11 hours straight through. The past 2 months he's been getting worse and worse. He now will only fall asleep if I am holding him, as soon as I put him in his crib he wakes up. I used to let him cry it out and still would but he now pulls himself up in his crib and doesn't know how to get back down. He wakes up several times a night. At 6am he wakes up, I give him a bottle, after about 30 minutes he goes back to sleep for about 2 hours, which I think means he really isn't sleeping enough at night.
I don't want to keep giving into him, I just found out I am pregnant again, so I really need to fix this sleep problem.....I am exhausted!
My husband thinks we should just let him stay up till he falls asleep on his own and let him sleep with us, but that doesn't promote very good sleep habits!
Please help....I need sleep!
