cant get my LO to fall asleep without me

naps have reached an all new low.
bedtime is the same.
one of my LO's will not go to bed without either my DH or I helping him. i was going to pick up the no cry sleep solution but is there anything else i can do? he just cries, da da, mommy and i'ts heartbreaking. plus my naptime 'me' time is no more. we cant go out at night because we cant get the boys to sleep!

 

Have you tried leaving them with someone. You might be surprised. Mine do this to me and sometimes DH but go to bed beautifully for our babysitter. Every child is different but when mine cry for me at bedtime it seems like it is more a way to try to prolong staying up. I usually give them a kiss, tell them it's time to go to sleep and that I love them, and leave the room. I sit next door and usually the crying lasts no longer than 5 min before they start talking and playing normally.

 

I agree with this. I found that going over the bedtime routine helped our two when they would be clingy at night. Mommy and Daddy will read you a story, we'll turn on your fan and night light and tuck you in and then it's time for sleep.

 

we do this.
when we leave - he literally screams....it almost seems like he's hyperventilating he is so upset. it breaks my heart; plus the crying makes me mad, lol.

now today at naptime, he went right down. i cant figure this kid out.
