We got him to sleep through about a month ago after 10 months of hell.
But the daytime is still a nightmare. He gets absolutely knackered, whiny, eyes rolling back in his head, so I follow his cues and put him to bed. I then spend half an hour or so waiting for him to settle, in and out every two minutes because he's got himself stood up and can't get back down again, before I give up and get him up. And he continues to be whiny and pissed off because he's knackered.
So do I just give up trying to get him to sleep? I can't spend so much time trying as I have an almost 3 year old who I am neglecting whilst trying to get the baby to sleep, and I'm getting really frustrated.
He will eventually go down after lunch if he hasn't slept since 6am, but only for an hour, and then he'll carry on until about 6pm when he conks out again. He really needs more sleep than this and I need some time to spend with DS1.
AIBU? What can I do?!
