My 10 month old son has hardly ever slept through the night. He seems to have got into a habit of waking at 4am and screaming at the top of his voice. I don't think it's for any other reason apart from wanting attention as he stops as soon as you pick him up. we have tried controlled crying but with little effect. I have tried giving him more food during the day but that doesn't make any difference either. I really don't know how to get him to sleep through.
I should also mention that everytime I put him in his cot for a nap, he screams until eventually he drops off and then he screams when he wakes up. He also seems to be going through seperation anxiety as he cries when I leave the room.
Any advice would be welcome as I need to get a few night's unbroken sleep before I go completely mad.
thanks
