starting to worry im doing it all wrong.

his 2nd nap for the day was hard to get him to sleep, i tried for 25 min, in the end i put him on my boob and he fell asleep pretty quickly, put him down in his cot and he slept for 50 min i think the first half he was pretty jumpy but second half was alot better. He is down again (only last 1 1/2 hour before getting tired) put him down at 13.45 and fell asleep just before 14.00 and he is still sleeping, he hasnt been as jumpy this time round only the first 10-15 min.
Thinking of getting my oh doing the night time one as i find it hard hearing him cry and me not picking him up or cuddling him. He always or at least 98% of the time cries when going to sleep even when he is on me so I know the crying he does is "normal" for him. Its like if he does that to settle down before falling asleep but its still heartbreaking.
I hope this really works for us.

I would encourage picking him up but thats just my opinon.

I put him down in his bassinet, after 10 minutes i pick him up if hes still crying but leave him if hes just moaning. I dont let him see me or he starts to cry.

You are right, i did that last night as he was crying quite a bit and in the end had to feed him again and that helped out alot. See how it goes tonight but will pick him up if it takes too long, Thanks for your help Feeling more hopeful now, just need him to learn to sleep better during the days. Hope its one of these things he learns in time.
