Help!
DS (6.5 mo) was a bad napper. Then, we worked at it for a few weeks and I thought we had got somewhere. But this last week it has all gone wrong again 
He is taking ages to go to sleep in the daytime, be it in his pram, his cot or in the car, and then sleeping for a maximum 30 minutes and I can't persuade him to go back to sleep.
The lack of daytime naps is having a knock-on effect on night time sleep, last night for example he woke every 1-2 hours, just needing resettling. We tried calpol and feeding, but it didn't seem to make any difference to length of sleep (i.e. he still woke up 1-2 hours after the feed / calpol).
So then he wakes up in the morning and is still tired, so won't settle for his naps (it took me an hour of persuading for him to go to sleep this morning, he has just woken up 25 minutes later), so is even tireder..... and so it goes on.
He is knackered, I am knackered, DP has man flu a cold so is also knackered. Perhaps DS also has man flu?
We just need to break the cycle with a decent length sleep, but how do we do that???
Not particularly expecting a solution, I just needed to get that off my chest. 
Please just tell me that one day soon I might get a 4 hour stretch of sleep again?
