Help Please...

Hi There, Got some question's to ask

1- DS is a very good night sleeper, we have no problems with getting him to sleep at 7pm each night and he sleep's through untill about 6am each morning, but during the day he stay's up for about 2 hours and then goes back down for a sleep, i can tell he is tired at that point but just about each time i go to put him to sleep he just scream's untill he fall's asleep, ive tried rocking, singing, movement , just about everything but it is so heartbreaking seeing him cry like that each time untill he goes to sleep. does anyone have any idea's on what i could do ?

2- DS also has some dry skin ( i think it is) on his forehead just above his eyebrow's, ive tried getting it off with a flannel but it dosnt seem to come off, does anyone know how i could get this off ?

Any advice on either question would be much appreciated

if he is up for 2 hours before you try to put him back to bed he may be overtired... try only keeping him up for about an hour.

i never did anything with the dry skin on my kids.

I have tried putting him down earlier but for some reason he is very stubborn and will scream and scream untill he is tired enough to go to sleep, even tho i know he is already tired

Also when i rock him to sleep sometime's it work's but when i go to slip him into his cot he wakes up and scream's

He is teething atm but ive tried giving him pamol, but dont want to give it to him everyday so i use teether's and bonjela and all that but he still seem's the be having teething pain's aswell ,and this has only happened since he has started teething, but he just scream's and scream's sometime's and i know it's not wind so im abit stuck on what it could be or weather it's just a age thing and naughty thing or weather he is in pain with his teeth

Have you got the head of the cot/bassinette raised? This might help if he is teething
When you put him into the cot asleep after rocking, how soon after he goes to sleep do you do it? Maybe try waiting another minute or two, and make sure you lower him slowly into the cot. I often stay as close to Ben as possible when I lower him into the cot and stay close until I have my arms out from under him, it seems to work best that way

My DS went through a phase where he cried before EVERY nap, it was horrible. BUT he seemed to grow out of it. Now more often than not, he goes to bed easily without any tears!

The dry skin sounds a bit like cradle crap. Try moisturising HEAPS and it should clear up.

He did when he was younger but then stopped but has now started again On the odd occasion he will go down without a cry but most of the time he will have a cry first.

I went to the doctor with DS the other day and they said the dry skin was apparently Excema, so maybe that could be causing some discomfort aswell as the teething, it isnt bad, but what he does have might annoy him abit, i do put cream on it all the time tho
