So little sleep...

[Thelongdarkteatime]

My 11mo ds seems to have given up on sleep. A few weeks ago he would go down at 730, have a bf around 11 then wake at 6am. I could just about cope with the occasional night wakings/4am starts. Then he had a cold and for two weeks now has just not slept. He screams every time I put him in the cot (day or night), will not settle til 10 pm or later and wakes multiple times. Co sleeping hasn't helped, he is just as unsettled. Has anyone got any useful advice as we are struggling to function at work now! Tia

Bumping: can anyone help?

im in exactly the same boat. 8 month old dd has had a cold for a week and her sleep has been getting worse. the last 2 nights she has screamed until 2am despite being exhausted. she isnt a screamer normally and its an unbearable screechy type noise. shes been asleep for more than 3 hours now. i dont want to wake her but im worried she will do the same again tonight. im going to try her i a steamy bathroom before bed to see if it clears her head but other than that im clueless
you have my sympathies though. im due back at work on sat and im dreading it!
