Hi All,

I am at my wit's end.
My baby has been such a good sleeper. I returned to work when he was 5 and a half months old.
He got sick and I started bringing him in to bed with me so i could go to sleep at night time too. He was fine and often would go back into his cot all night still waking at 7:30am.
He has hit 9.5 months and now wont go in his cot at all. As soon as he feels the cot he wakes up screaming. I try putting him to sleep in my arms and then placing him in there but it's like he has a 6th sense. I really think he hates his cot. Last night he just screamed and screamed even when I was sitting besie the cot telling him it was ok. He stands up and just cries and cries. I don't know what to do. He has also got to the stage where he gets very sooky and clingy when I walk away from him. He will put his head down and cry. I can't get much done these days as I have him attached, crying to the back of my legs. Help!

He just loves you and wants to be near you :)

Is there any reason why he can't just sleep with you? Or maybe move his cot next to your bed?

That's nice to hear and I really don't mind him sleeping with me but I don't think it's fair on my partner and the hours he works. Plus it would be nice to have him in a routine.
I am thinking about the cot thing next to the bed and will try tonight.

Someone please tell me they outgrow this stage at some time!
