Try to impress upon mom that by rubbing his back at home she is just making it harder on him because he is expecting you to do it and its confusing him..... Generally if you put the spin on it that its him she is affecting (which is the truth) she will do the same at home. But if she won't then it will just take longer and he will eventually learn going to sleep at your house is different then going to sleep at home ......
OK thanks, what would you say to mom and dad though? I know he is there first but the easier we can get him adjusted the better.
And in the situation they dont stop and I continue to just lie him down to CIO what about his eating? He is soo upset when i bring him back to the play room after crying for 2 hours
I am so relieved when 5pm comes about, and my lovelys go home! Please reassure me he will catch on, he did sleep a little yesterday so this is good but my goodness he is so upset after I bring him back to the playroom. Nothing I do makes him happy unless he is on me, moment I get up its a cry fit I'm trying to just ignore it and invite him to play but my word!! I'm not concerned about his eating anymore as mom said he eats soo much when he gets home. I'm really praying that the happy boy is not gone forever he was soo cheerful never cried unless tired Nd now that's what he does for 70% of the day!!!
I think that the fact that you are seeing a little bit of improvement is very encouraging. Just keep at it!
Have you asked/mentioned to mom that he is still having some troubles sleeping?
