Am I doing the right thing? - I feel bad

[OmarsMum]

I think it's terrible that you hold your baby down to get him to sleep. That's absolutely terrible. His sleeping will not get better if he is scared of it!

Very much dont agree with above. At the moment I have to hold my LO down to sleep, I dont pin him down by his arms and his legs forcibly, which is hardly I suspect what OP does either. (edit) kisses and cuddles above post.

At the moment my LO is hell bent on standing up in his cot, which is useless, as regardless of whether he's wide awake or dead tired, he'll stand, which usually involves him falling and hitting his head. I hook my finger in his belt loop (days) and hold onto the side of his grow bag (nights) so he cant roll to crawling and get up. Guaranteed within 5-6 mins he's fast asleep..

Its that or let him stand, and crack his head over and over, as he hasnt figured out how to sit down.. which is not what I'm prepared to do!

OP, I'd def go for a family meeting idea too, *HUGS*

Thnks hun. We moved his travel cot for night sleep as it's safer than his wooden one. I know how u feel hun.
