I love it all. The YOG's give me snippets of what is happening in your everyday. I love the window. Ah sweet sleep. Saskia just started really sleeping through the night consistently and she is almost three....hang in there. Everything you write it fantastic! I love it all.

In my humble opinion, if he's so upset and needs comfort, give it. Bring him to bed with you, cuddle him all night, rock him or hold him down every time he needs. Maybe he's going through a growth spurt or hitting a milestone. Every time I think I might throw Wyatt out the window he suddenly becomes a new baby overnight and we're both amazed and well rested again. Maybe he needs extra reassurance. To keep your sanity, keep in mind it won't last forever. To be psychological, if you give him enough comfort and reassurance he's self adjust and enjoy sleep......eventually. Anyway - we'll talk. I just put Wyatt in a toddler bed. I may eat those words I just wrote :) To add - I LOVE your YOG's!! Keeps me on track with my gratitude! Rock on! Well, for sure rule out any sort of medical issue.

He started out making it until about 11:00, when he would be dead-tired, so he would nap and then eat a late lunch. The nap got even better when he could make it until lunchtime, eat, and THEN nap. However, this week has been the switch to big-boy-bed and we are on day 2 of NO NAP WHATSOEVER OH MY GOD. Also, I don't find the YOG's boring but it is nice to have other things too!

If not still ill then find out if any of Clark's friends are still having 2 naps, I cant remember at what age we started dropping one of the naps. other than that. Pass. Quite liked the YOG's but there was a very quick succession of post after post to get through.

Really. We had this for Tobes when he was a few weeks old, he would go crazy when laid down for sleep, and this worked wonders! Immediate results! I'm sure it would help an older baby like Clark too! Tobes had about three or four sessions and it worked like a dream. Honestly, I'd say give it a go! Jenny, I’d HIGHLY recommend Cranial Osteopathy. Really.

I do that with Maggie when she's having trouble. Neither of my girls transfers well AT ALL when sleeping, so we just have lots of naps in the ergo, in the stroller, in the car seat (have you done drives just for sleeping? So not green, but sometimes a necessary evil), on Mom in the rocking chair. It can take them WEEKS to get back to a regular sleep schedule after illness, travel, etc. Also, don't worry about the three times a night thing. The "sleeping thru the night" thing is mostly mythical. I don't even sleep through the night. Is he teething? My kids are super shitty sleepers, so I feel your pain.
