It doesn't sound like he's a crybaby, it sounds like there may be something going on that you just haven't figured out yet.
My DD has always been like that. Since she was pretty young we always said "you always know how Bayley is feeling because she isn't shy about letting you know." As she's older we are starting to see some sensory processing stuff that may have been the root of some things long before she was able to really let us know. That's not her fault and I sort of feel bad getting as frustrated as I did, but, how could I have known? Her issues haven't risen to the level of OT yet but we are keeping a close eye on them.
Quoting Junebaby18:
Is there something he is eating/drinking at night that he doesn't get during the day? Does he just not want to go to sleep when he's supposed to?
only at night? i'd not of course rule out a drs visit, but.... my kids have always suffered thru night terrors. my eldest was the worst. he'd cringe away from me in his crib, acted like he was terrified of me. i'd have to pull him out by his foot or arm and just put him on the floor away from me. he wouldn't let me touch him or be near him. i'd sing Jesus loves me over and over and over until finally he'd SEE me, like he'd finally wake up. my 6 yr old n 3 yr old r doing it now, n my 1 yr old just started. they 'look' at me, but they're not SEEING me. try to wake him up. with my eldest i couldn't as i wasn't allowed to touch him. w/ my other 3, i bounce n walk n dance kinda wildly in front of a loud tv station until they're awake. only THEN will they let me comfort them. n don't worry, MY kids were never abused either, it doesn't have to come from that. it doesn't mean that ura bad mom or they r reacting to a bad environment. it's just kinda a freak thingee that happens sometimes. i have started playing soft classical music in their room at night. it's too soon to tell if it's helping but it seems as if it might be a lil.
