16month still not sleeping, wakes up screaming and won't settle!!!!!!!!!

[jersey]

Help please!!!

DS a couple of months ago had spent months of not sleeping and we ended up doing CC which worked, or seemed to so that even when he did wake up he settled within an hour. Then he had a tummy upset and five teeth cam through at once and now it has all gone to pot and the only way we can get him to sleep is back in with us, which is bad but we are exhausted and I am now pregnant and so tired I don't know what to do with myself.

When he wakes he is screaming, shaking and seems to be absolutley petrified. Speaking to MIL his cousin who is now 5 was the same and nothing would work, he just grew out of it!!

If we try CC now he gets himself so worked up he won't settle or makes himself sick.

Any ideas please.

We have had the same problem with dd, now 22 months, we have to stay with her until she is asleep and she often ends up in our bed, i'm 25 weeks pg and it is hard work. We tried CC but she would also make herself sick.

She has started to get beter since we put her in a bed, she hated her cot, last week she slept through for the first time. She is now sleeping through most nights but wakes early, somtimes she wakes at 4.30. Hopfully she has grown out of waking in the night (fingers crossed).

Thanks Marneychristmas I had thought about a bed instead of a cot but think DS is still too young.
