I'm starting to get a bit desperate now. The first 4 of my kids have slept brilliantly, responded well to cc and all sllep well throughout the night, no problem.
ds4 however has just turned 1 and has never slept well despite me doing all the same things as I did with the older 4. I do know what I ma doing, honest, it's just he won't sleep through the night.
A few weeks ago I dosed him up with calpol as I suspected it was his teeth, which made him sleep all night for 3 nights in a row. This week, after nearly 3 weeks again of being up for nearly 2 hours every night, I am so desperately tired, I am getting to the end of my tether with him. ds3 (3 today) has had 2 smacks so faR today as I am so irritable which has really pissed me off as it's his birthday.
I am thinking of going to the Dr with ds4 to see if he can give him anything to make him sleep. atm he comes into our bed or I take him down to the sofa - there really is no option except this as ds3 sleeps in the same room and it disturbs him too. Once in our bed it's 50-50 whether he zonks immediately or struggles and wriggles and cries.
dh works nights so I am on my own on this one, any ideas would be greatly appreciated before I leave home.
