So my almost 11m son is a terrible sleeper. All the bad habits, we do them. He still has to be rocked to sleep, naps included, he won't nap on his crib during the day it has to be my arms. If I put him on his crib we will be up 15 min later. At night he doesn't mind the crib but he still won't sleep through the night. He will wake up several times and I end up putting him in bed with me but even then he's such a restless sleeper, tossing and turning. What can I do?

@cassandra.p yeah I've read about that but I'll see how it goes
Everyone and every baby is different gotta do what u feel comfy with. My son was not a crier so the same method I used on him made my daughter into a cry it out because she just cries a lot anyway.
You could try the no cry sleep solution first then. But it doesn't work for everyone
Thanks @mskandice @cassandra.p @skylinrainwater I will definitely find a sleep training method that works for us. I don't really like the cry it out method tbh
Both @cassandra.p and @skylinrainwater are correct. Sleep training has 2 to 3 core pricipals then u can tweek it. Make sure hes fed, comfy and dry before bed and naps. He has to cry it out just has to. If its nap time like 10 a to 12noon he must be in crib even if hes crying in it bc its nap time.
Sleep train!!!There are great tools online, most plans work if u stick to them. I got my 4 month old sleep trained at 2 months she also sleeps in her own room, no night lights from 8p to 7a every night. It can take up to 2 weeks to see the change dont give in stick to the plan, he will cry a lot.
Grab a sleep training book and stick to it. There's 2-3 core ideas out there.
Try to break him of that habit. Put him down for a nap, in his crib and if he wakes up in 15 minutes then let him cry it out. If you know he's just wanting to be held then there's no need for you to pick him up. He'll probably cry a lot for awhile wanting you to pick him up but don't give in. I would also see about calming music, a nice bath with lavender Johnson's baby soap and lotion, a bottle with some baby rice in it to get him relaxed.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?

@mskandice my son cries a lot too but we've had trouble putting him to sleep and I've let him cry it out (I was still rocking him) he finally gave in and fell asleep but once I put him in his crib he started whimpering and then out of nowhere he woke up hardcover crying. It took us about 30 min trying to calm him down. This happened twice, same thing.
