Hey guys
Could really use some advice - a 4 month old baby started with me about 4 months ago, just 2 days a week. His mum said he was a very easy baby and slept really well, he is an easy bed but I didn't find it as east to get him to sleep as they clearly did. The few times I did manage to get him to sleep successfully in his cot I had to rock him for half an hour, bringing all the other children up with me and asking them to sit in the hall quietly.
Since Easter he is with me four days a week and his sleeping is getting worse, he is supposed to have a morning nap (sometimes he arrives asleep in his pushchair and we leave him in there to nap) but other than that I am having really little success. We went for a walk one afternoon, but the next day the minute I put him in the pushchair he started screaming and never really stopped until an hour later when we got home.
I do not want to have to leave him to cry him to sleep, but with other children to care for I don't feel that I can dedicate an hour to trying to get him to sleep!?
I could really use any advice you could give me.
