My 17 month old is very hard work. I love him to death but he is a terrible sleeper and I just can't take anymore. Last night was the worst, he was up between about 11pm and 4.30am, and I'm not joking. I have yelled at him tonight and threw him on the sofa. I'm so so tired, I'm clutching at straws as to what the hell I do. Someone please tell me where to go. I just want him to sleep, my husband and I don't know what to do with him. He is in a bed in a room with my 3 year old and has never slept through the night. He wakes on average about 2 times a night and finds it difficult to go back to sleep. He can have bottle after bottle of milk but can't settle back to sleep. I've tried dummies, he was breastfed up till recently (i stopped feeding through night at 13 months in the hope it might help) and I've even thought if using a travel cot, putting him in it and leaving him to cry, with me next to him, cos at least then he can't get out and hopefully might get the message about bedtime and sleep. He could cry all night though and I just don't know what else to do.
Please someone help us. I don't know what else to do with him.
