my 9 month old sleep PROBLEM
Hi
I have a 9 month old who up to recently was sleeping with me. My doctor recommended that I let him cry it out, so I can get him to sleep in his own bed. Our problem is not the crying,but he will not lay down, he sleeps sitting up, until he iether eventually passes out or somethimes I can lay hm down. We are going on our 4th day. I am worry about sleep deprevation. Will he eventually know, just to lay down and not fight it or is he getting himself into a bad habit.
Thank you
A concern, anxious mother Kathy

How long can I expect this to go on. He will sit up,off and on sleeping from2-6 hours. It is so hard for me to go to bed and get comfortable knowing he isn't. I do a routine, He normal seems to get tired around 7:45- 8:00 at which pont I start the routine. First He loves sitting relaxing with me on my lap. so I sit him on my lap where I read a couple small books to him, then he sits back and relax by watching a little Tv, then I breastfeed him, at this time he is usually closing his eyes. I tell him moomy loves you, its time for bed as I walk with him to his room, at which point we quickly opens his eyes and starts to cry, I kiss him, tell him I will see you in the morning, I love you and then walk out. He screams fosr anywhere from 5-20 mintues, then off and on crys out until he finally passes out, there are times he is quite for 2 or more hours, I peak in and there he is sleeping sitting up bobbing back and forth. It is so heart breaking to me. My husband says I am to fixated on this, but I can't help it He's my baby. does anyone have any other suggestion, or does it sound like I am doing what I am suppose to
Thanks again
