@ALV91711: Oh geez. What about a muslin sleep sack?

Is he pulling up outside the crib yet? I feel like this is, hopefully, one of those phases that they have a few/week of bad nights and they figure it out. Like when they start rolling over and can’t get back the other way. This might sound bad but if you left him to cry a little bit, he might fall/sit down by accident if he’s worked up and that might break the cycle. Plus in the crib he’s only going to be on something soft so you know he’s ok if that happens and it shows him it’s not scary. I know my DS loves practicing new things in the crib at bedtime. You’ll also want to avoid laying him down repetitively as that could become a fun game after a bit

@ALV91711: aww poor buddy! Maybe when he’s outside the crib and pulls up you could put some tempting toys on the floor below him and then he could practice leaning or crouching down to get them. Other than that, I would definitely do a sleep sack like pp suggested...though that doesn’t stop my DS from practically running around the crib 🤷‍♀️

FWIW, temp wise, our babies both slept in cotton footed sleepers and sleep sacks in the summer at 78 degrees for months up through age 2.

Travel has always ruined my sleep training, sorry, no.help there.

@ALV91711: I was thinking muslin for the summer, but it depends on how warm your climate/house is. Make sure you get one that is properly fitted so he doesnt have a lot of "slack" to use to stand.

My 13 month old sleeps in a sleep sack, and still a fleece pj under! We have ac on though. If it’s particularly hot, I would do something lighter, but never skip the sleep sack. However, she can stand up in the sleep sack, so I’m not sure it will help. Sometimes my baby would seem to get stuck sitting up. I’d just leave her if she wasn’t overly crying. I’m sorry you are going through. It’s definitely a phase. Maybe set a time you will let him cry each night before going in. And extend the time each night. Hoping this passes quick for you!
