You're baby is not being naughty, hes just
being a typical baby. If he wants your
attention give it to him, no matter what
anyone says you can't spoil a baby. If he
wants a hug, pick him up and give him one
and don't feel ashamed in doing so. When
you say he refuses to sleep on his own,
what does this mean exactly? Do you have
to rock him to sleep? Your baby needs to
learn to get himself to sleep, if you keep
helping him by rocking, patting or
whatever thats the only way he'll get to
sleep even if he wakes at 3 in the
morning. Just put him in his crib, awake,
turn the light off, give him his paci (if
he has one) and walk out. If he plays in
his crib for a little bit b4 he goes to
sleep don't worry, if he cries leave him
for a few minutes to see if he will settle
himself, then if he doesn't stop crying
within, say, 10 minutes, go in fix him up
and repeat the proceess, but wait a little
longer each time. I did this with my
daughter (13 months) and it really works.
Just make sure your baby isn't teething or
sick that is causing him not to sleep. As
for him throwing everything away, babies
do this, its a game to them, try not to
get angry with him. My daughter found my
mobile phone and threw it in the bin
today, if hes throwing his toys or
whatever tell him "no" in a firm voice and
try and distract him, or you can give him
something he can throw such as a ball.
Hope i've helped a little. Good luck with
your little man. :)
