Our 9 mo son has hit a major sleep regression and we are really struggling at bedtime. 4-8 mo he would drink a 6oz bottle, fall asleep in our arms then sleep in his crib through the night.
Now it takes an hour to get him to sleep and he screams and cries no matter what UNLESS we pass the threshold of the bedroom door. Then he stops crying immediately.
His wake windows are approximately 3/3.5/ and the last is just a shitshow bc he will be awake for 5 hours fighting sleep. The longest he ever naps is 2 hrs, but usually anywhere from 40min-1.5 hrs. He’s not a consistent napper.
We’ve tried letting him cry a few mins (up to 10mim), going back in, bouncing, rocking, it doesn’t help. He continues to scream his head off. The past few nights he’s fallen asleep screaming in my arms. He continues to sleep through the night after initially falling asleep.
Please help!!!!
