We have a 19-month-old son with cerebral palsy. He has difficulty staying asleep more than a few hours at a time. He takes oral baclofen and his doctor recommended slow-release melatonin to help him stay sleeping for longer periods of time. He does fall asleep quickly and does not wake when we move him to his crib, he just doesn’t sleep more than a few hours before crying. He is easily comforted and usually falls back to sleep quickly. We realize that he has “trained” us to respond when he cries but we have a difficult time letting him cry and worry that he may wake his sister. Any advice is appreciated.
