She told me they are no longer rocking him to sleep, they are just putting him in his crib inside his grobag (which I hope he can give up soon) and he's off to sleep so we'll see how that goes. He did not cry as much the last time he was here unless I went out of his sight, then he cried so hard I thought he was going to throw up. He definitely has anxiety issues if I am not around so will have to work on that. Haven't had this situation in forever, you forget how exhausting it can be
Hopefully she doesn't revert back to rocking because he is sick. Unfortunately I find that after an extended period away due to illness, the parents have wrapped them up in cotton wool again. I am very tactile and give all of my guys lots of kisses and cuddles especially when they aren't feeling great but a lot of mothers go over the top when their child is ill to make THEMSELVES feel better and then there is a lot of hardwork for us when it comes to getting the little one back to normal.
