any suggestions?
So my almost 10 month old, EBF baby has decided that he’s on strike against going to sleep period tonight. We have a rigid bedtime routine, he was exhausted and so I tried to nurse him to sleep as usual. He refused to go to sleep his usual way (combo of nursing, rocking, and patting). He is arching his back and his whole body is going so stiff it hurts my arms to keep ahold of him. I needed to step away from the fit, so i set him down in his crib. Immediately hes happy as a clam, but refusing to lay down. Instead he‘s jumping, playing with his sleep sack, trying to get me to play peekaboo, whatever. I leave the room to collect myself, he continues to play happily in his crib for about 10 minutes and then begins to cry. I go back in immediately, pick him up and he cries HARDER and resumes the back arching and fighting me. He absolutely will not cosleep to get to bed, though we do sometimes after 3 am if he’s having a hard time going back down.
Yall. What do I even do.
