I just don't know what I am doing wrong with ds. He has never been a brilliant sleeper, always waking for a feed at elast 3 times a night still which is exhausting but just about manageable as he does settle himselfto sleep afterwards. But I have just had my second night of no sleep whatsoever, he has woken up every half hour to an hour crying, standing up and shaking the rails of his cot. Nothing I try will settle him. I know the people in the flat above are getting fed up of him crying, which just makes me more stressed. I am literally shaking with tiredness Now he is awake for the day he is hapily playing, but I cannot face another night of this. I can't ask the health visitor for advice (well, I feel I can't, as they're already worried about his lack of weight gain and it would just be one more stick for them to beat me with) He is not hungry, he is refusing the breast at night, I gave him medicine before he went down for his teeth. If it was just whinging I would be happy to leave him to settle himself as he normally deos but it is screaming. I am planning on taking him and dd for a long walk in the buggy today so I can just get some fresh air and zone out for a few hours while he hopefully sleeps, but I have no energy, and even at this time in the morning I just need to go back to bed and sleep WHat can I do to make him sleep???
