Clingy at night - sleep getting worse help

Juniper

My baby boy has gotten very clingy and had been up since four and will not let me put him down. It’s clearly separation anxiety but every time I try to cry it out I wind up crying and give in, and then he’s so worked up he’s harder to calm. I can’t have another day of working full time while feeling liek this. Maybe my husband and I just need to make a full commitment to cry it out. I never thought I’d use that strategy but he clearly cannot fall asleep on his own or self soothe and I am so exhausted. Hellllpppp.
