Answer 1

you can let him scream it out. he will fall asleep. a doctor should tell you its ok to let them cry it out.

Answer 2

Try talking to him and find out the reason why. Maybe is he scared, in that case you need to find out what off to be able to fix this.

Hope all goes well and he gets there before number 3 is born :)

Answer 3

Try half a melatonin. He should sleep better then.

Answer 4

I think i agree with letting him scream till he passes out asleep. Kids need to cry. it happends. I would make sure he is fed and dry... andthen put him to his bed at his bed time.make sure all in the house know what is happening and let him cry. DONT go to him and get him. Leave the light on in the hall so he gets light under his door... and let him scream. When he is silent... check to see where he is in his room... and then leave him be. He should stop in about a week if no one goes to him or says anything to him. Make sure you say I love you and give kisses!

good luck
