I have a 9 month old baby boy. He goes down for his naps in the daytime all right but at night he screams. My health visitor told me to let him cry it out, but I refuse to just let him cry. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

CG: Hi Linsey, I wouldn’t let a baby cry itself to sleep either. There is clearly something the matter and I suggest you look at the differences between the way you settle him for his nap during the day and at night. There is something at night that is different from his nap during the day and is making him fractious. You may also find using the sleeping routine detailed in my book Happy Kids useful. Try it and see. Cathy x
I downloaded your Happy Kids book and tried the 3r’s, and hey presto he goes down now. The first night it took half an hour, the second night he went down straight away and tonight it took 5mins. I don’t know why I didn’t try it before. Thank you so much for your advice and amazing book. You advice is better than my health visitor’s advice!!
