My 14 month old son has never slept and is still breastfeeds before bed and sometimes in the night.
Getting him to sleep isn't a problem anymore, as he feeds, then I put him in his cot awake and he settles himself to sleep without any tears.
The problems start when he wakes up. My husband will try and settle him first, so he doesn't immediately get the boob when he wakes, but as the night goes on he becomes more and more unsettled, until he screams for me and wants to be in our bed. We have tired having me or my husband sat with him in his room to try and settle him, but he just screams and screams and gets really distressed. When I bring him in our room, he doesn't always go to sleep on the boob. It's like he gets restless and will feed, then sits up and starts chatting/babbling. Neither me or my husband is getting any sleep and we are exhausted and don't know what to do anymore. I even took him to a cranial oestopath, but it had no effect.
He does sometimes sleep in the bed, but I can't sleep when he does, because he won't sleep next to me, he wants to sleep across my chest and he is a lot heavier now. I also don't like him sleeping in the bed, because I am scared of him rolling out.
I know there are no easy solutions, but I am just at a complete loss as to what to do. He sleeps worse than he did as a newborn and me and my husband are only getting a maximum of 4 hours sleep each night.
