I think you just need to grin and bear it a few days, put him down and walk away, occasionally keep going back and shush shush to him, stroke his hair etc and go from there. I think it's called controlled crying. It's not nice to do but if you feel ready to put him to be awake then that's what you need to do or something similar.

We got a fab mobile by tiny love and Isla loved looking at it

Have you tried the cherry teat dummy? I used one of the flat ones at first and he wouldn't take it at all, so gave him the rounder one and it worked a treat immediately. Although I did start at about six weeks.

I had to do the controlled crying on Sunday night, it was heartbreaking but it worked after about 20 mins. I would go in every five and just put my hand on his chest and rock him for a couple of mins. No talking. Not sure if htat's the way to do it but it worked.

Oh also, try and put them down before they get too tired if that's possible. I HAVE to put Thomas in his crib at 4.30pm for a nap otherwise he's foul!!

Good luck!

I've tried both dummies, I've put him down n he starts squealing, abd I've tried controlled crying, I can't do it, it really is heartbreaking, health visitor said he is defo teething sp that can explain grumpy mood, but as to falling asleep on breast Il just have to b persistent, but its so hard!

Try solving the teethibg pain and it may make him a bit calmer.

You can get teethibg gels powders/granuals or an amber teething necklace. My Lo was really grumpy toll we got our teethibg necklace n now he's an angel x
