I'm sure this thread has been done before, but I'm desperate. DS woke last night at 11, 2, 3 and 4.30. And at 4.30 he was wide awake and ready to go. The night before he woke at 3.30 and didn't go back to sleep until 5. I could go on - on a good day (i.e. when he sleeps through) he will wake at any time between 5 and 5.30am. If we can get him to stay in his cot until 6 it's a bonus.
There are blackout blinds in his room and it is very dark. We've tried controlled crying, bringing him into bed with us and lying on the floor holding his hand (that works best of all for him but means we don't get any sleep). We also have a toddler so can't take it in turns going back to bed at 6 as she is usually up at 6.30.
So... what the hell do we do? I seriously can't function. My job is quite full-on and intense and I'm just not on the ball. I'm in bed by 9 every night which means I have barely any time for me and even less for DH. I know I'm not the only one in this situation, but it is seriously destroying me. Can anyone help please?
