Decidedly promising
Thurs night:
Very unhappy at bedtime, but then no parental interventions all night long. Intermittent single cries from about 1-3, apparently, but less than the previous night, and woke for the day at 5.45, clearly still tired, but we called it morning at that point.
On Weds I had a conversation with LB's keyworker at nursery which made me feel a bit better about how he's experiencing what we're doing. She said he's going down for his naps really easily, with no crying and just as he used to. That made me feel less worried that he is experiencing sleep per se as unpleasant. I'm quite sure he doesn't like what we're doing, or he wouldn't be crying, but that suggests to me that it's not generalised to sleep, just to what we are doing at the moment. Which is a little bit better. Still don't like it though (and neither does he, obviously).
