If I leave the room

[Fifi2406]

At night time if I leave my son (15 months) in his cot he will go totally mad to the point where he is throwing himself around into the bars and controlled crying is just not getting me anywhere I've had night after night of him waking up at 12...crying and crying if I leave the room and as soon as I come back he stops and puts his head down again then I leave and it happens again he goes mental crying it continues for hours and we then just get up at 6...he can cry that whole time! I put him in my bed for ease as I was getting about an hour and a half sleep! I'm literally pulling my hair out! He also try's to force himself to be sick when he's crying!!! Desperate for help! I need super nanny!!!!!!

So you slept in the room with them for 6 months??

yes I slept on mattress next to cot when DS1 was between about 12 and 24 months, we all got sleep and no stressyness (I also got PG, and then we moved house lol)

your baby needs to be near you, this won't be forever, why not take into your bed (read up on safe co-sleeping) or mattress into his room

Ahh this is looking like its going to be my solution! Camping in his room!! My mother keeps banging on about I just need to get on with it and he will stop crying but I really don't think he's going to! I feel awful that I left him crying so long! I kept going back at regular intervals every 5 mins but he doesn't have any of it! 6 hours of non stop crying thats just ridiculous! that happened for a week and 2 days with zero improvement! Fed up of people telling me I look tired! The nice way of saying you look like shit! I feel like shit to! I have been bringing him in my bed but even then I don't sleep because he's all over the place and trying to rest his head on my face with a big thud throughout the night!

I don't have a partner I think that's why I'm finding it so hard cos I have to do it all the time so don't get a break! Last night I waited in his room until he fell asleep took about 15 mins and then I left and he didn't wake up again until 7! Ahhhhh we will see if this works all the time but deffo should have tried this before!! Feel awful that I let him cry! Woooo had the bed to myself without getting smacked in the face!! Controlled crying is just not for him obviously
