My little man is just 9 months old and has recently started refusing to settle for sleep both during the day and at night. He used to be a really good sleeper and we have no idea what has changed to make him so upset.
Usually we have a feed-play-sleep routine and we are still wrapping him or he pulls his dummy out. He's just started really fighting the wrapping if he doesn't want to sleep and he rolls around until he gets out and then stands up in the cot, falls down and screams.
Is this separation anxiety? He only screams as soon as we leave the room and doesn't want to settle unless you rock him to sleep in your arms and then try to sneak him into the cot without waking him.
Should we still be wrapping him at 9 months? And what is everyones opinion on controlled crying? At first we heard it was good to use and about a month ago I started reading articles saying it produces children with low self esteem...
