I've posted about this a couple of times before but my 11mo hasn't been sleeping for a few months now, on a good night he sleeps 2 hours at a time and on a bad night he's waking every 20-40 minutes. I've been getting support from the health visitor but they are just suggesting we do controlled crying which I'm not sure about. Have taken him to the GP twice to rule out anything underlying and the Dr doesn't think anything is wrong.

I'm at absolute breaking point - can anyone suggest anything? Do I pay out for a sleep consultant/sleep course? Do I ride it out and hope it gets better when he starts nursery next week? Thank you for any suggestions I really don't know what to do now!

Sleep consultant, just do it.

Best money you'll ever spend.

In our case, it was basically that he was hungry and needed more 'exercise' than I could have possibly imagined.

Thank you, that's really interesting - please could you tell me who you used?

What does your routine look like at the moment? When does he nap and how do you get him to sleep?

Thanks for your reply. Up at 7am, first nap about 9.15-10.00, second nap about 2-3.30, bedtime at 7pm. Holding to sleep which I know isn't ideal, no night feeds now. What do you think?

We liked her because there's very minimal crying. It's more about preventing them waking in the first place.
