I have a 10 month old son and I am nursing and also supplementing with a bottle. For the first 6 months he slept with me and woke up about 4 times during the night. I would nurse him back to sleep. I began nursing him to sleep and then putting him in his crib. He would wake up every hour or so wanting to be nursed. I would often try to rock him, sing, pat him on the back but he just became hysterical until I nursed him and put him back to sleep. My husband has tried to get up with him, again he just screams until I nurse him. I've tried letting him "cry it out" and he becomes so hysterical he will actually throw up. I don't know what else to do. He refuses to go to sleep unless I nurse him, he won't even take a bottle at night. I know he isn't hungry because he only nurses for about 5 minutes. Should I just let him cry and not pick him up? I tried this only once, after an hour of screaming I gave in.
Thanks for your help.
