Won’t let me put him down to sleep
I usually bf him to sleep and then put him down for a long stretch until 2/3am. Tonight, every time I try to put him down he just whimpers. If I leave him to whimper he ends up waking up and crying. He’s teething at the moment - his first tooth is just cutting through now. Could this be the reason for the clinginess?

Might be a developmental leap, they’re due one around 8 months. Might be brain activity causing it. Mine has been the same
@Beth we’re on night two of this and my husband and I are taking turns holding him at the moment. His tooth has cut through now so I was hoping he’d sleep better but nope 😔 Hope it’s going better for you tonight x
@Mee thanks. I hope it’s just a phase because this is proving really difficult! He won’t even co-sleep!

Just to say we are the same. He won’t even feed to sleep. Normally I can rock him to sleep and put him down and if that fails feeding always works but it’s not worked the last two days he just refuses to go in his crib. I’m wondering whether it’s teething too x
