I've had it- enough, I give. After 24 weeks of munchkin waking 4-6 times a night I am at breaking point as is dh. Thankfully my older son keeps me going and awake but I am really done. My ds is a grand napper and fine about going to be, but wakes every 1-4 hours crying bloody murder. He used to go back down after nursing but will now still cry for up to an hour.

I'd love to speak with a sleep specialist but don't know where to find one. Alternately very much welcome advice. He wakes from his naps as well generally not calm but crying sharply.

We've trying controlled cyring and crying it out but listening to your baby cry for an hour straight multiple times a night is neither easy nor restful.

I feel resentful of him which I know isn't fair but it's really made it harder for me to be as giving at times as I know I should. I am tired of shedding tears over this and as much as I tell myself to buck up, I also have many moments of feeling this is unfair (trivial I know) and also that something else is going on that needs sorting. This too shall pass but not sure I'll make it until then.

yep. i recommend Millpond. Some free advice at sleepytot too.

My 20 month old has been waking a fair bit this last week and so I can understand how you are feeling - although it's only been a few days for me!

If you don't want to go down the (pricey) sleep clinic route then pick up put down from the baby whisperer solves all your problems worked fantastically for us.
