Every night when we try to put Henry, our 9 week old son, to bed he cries when we put his clothes on after his bath. I tried moving up his bed time from 9 to 7 and it didn't help (it did help his general crabbiness). We also tried to change up some of the routine... Here is our typical routine:
bath, massage, dress him, feed him and dance to a song... then he goes to sleep for atleast 9 hours (very nice, I know). It's the dressing him that's the hardest part. He screams like we are trying to kill him. If he didn't kick off all his blankets during the night I'd be tempted to put him to bed in just his diaper. We've tried to switch the massage & the bath and the feeding and the dressing... to know avail. He still screams bloody murder the entire time.
Any suggestions? I guess I should mention that if I need to change him during the day he's usually happy and doesn't cry at all.
