HELP, NO SLEEP FOR MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please can someone help! Since starting teething at 6/7mths our son has not slept through (Now 15mths). When he has been between teething sessions it has got better and we have odd nights through till 4:30ish.

However, in the last 2/3 months he has started waking anytime from 11:30pm onwards and takes forever to get back to sleep (usually just before we have to get up at 5:30am for work). We made the mistake of bring him in with us as we have never managed to get him to go to sleep in his cot (anywhere else yes, but never his cot. He screams as though terrified!). Now we seemed to have got him in a pattern we can't get out of and with both of us working fulltime on 4 hours sleep a night its killing us.

We are going to try the controlled crying method tonight going forward, does anyone think this is the right thing to do, and does anyone have any other suggestions, we are desperate and TTC no 2 so need a solution soon.

Thankyou.
