Still not sleeping :(

[sososotired]

My DS is 8 months old and slept ok till 7 months he woke at 11 and 4 for feeds which I was fine with we decided to try cc biggest mistake ok my life! It's all gone down hill from there I honestly struggle to get him to sleep, he is cuddled put down in his cot drowsy and then I stay with him until he is asleep so he can fall asleep by himself! He now wakes at 9ish and some nights hourly after that until I am so knackered he ends in my bed and then he starts our day at 5 :(
Will he ever go back to just waking 2 times a night? I go back to work full time in 5 weeks and I will not manage on our current sleep patterns can any one help us please? :( ;( :(

I feel your pain, my daughter was an okay sleeper until 6 mo then woke 1-2 hourly until 15 mo - by which time I was knackered and had gone potty.

We tried all the techniques in the books but nothing worked. My daughter would vomit if left alone to CC and it only made things 100 times worse.

I blog about the techniques we used to improve my daughters sleep to help other mums - you can read about them if you're interested. There may be something that will help you.

For example if you think he's waking due to the CC you tried - you could use Bach Flower remedies to restore emotional balance - mydaughterwontsleep.com/2014/04/18/being-a-baby-is-emotional/

If you think he's teething...cos that was a big problem for us. Here's the link on it - mydaughterwontsleep.com/2014/02/21/teething-when-pain-relief-just-doesnt-cut-it/

Is he weaned? Cos if nothing works you may want to look at allergies - mydaughterwontsleep.com/2013/12/08/a-sensitive-issue/

Anyway, I hope you find something that works and get some sleep soon. Good luck and best wishes.

Thank you for the links to your blog! I will most definitely give the acupressure a go and going to talk to DH about the Bach flowers I like the idea I'm rather convinced that cc broke my DS emotionally!
