Help, please.
DH and I now at the end of our tether and can't carry on like this. DS (6.5) is still waking consistently in the night.
I feel like we have tried everything over the last 6 years... CC, shush/pat, calming, anger, co-sleeping, sleeping in with him, yoga, crying (all of us) and more.
He wakes every night, comes into our room and says he's had a bad dream, gets sent/taken back to bed then sobs (you know, that sob which isn't really a sob but you can't get to sleep because of it?!) until we go in, speak to him, calm him (or get cross with him - depends on which time (number) this is that he has got up. If we let him sob (!) then he wakes DS (2y). If we go in with him he stops. But we can't do that any more. It's been too long.
DH and I both work (me part time and him from 5am) and it's getting to the point where we can't cope in the middle of the night any more and all rationalisation has gone out of the window (on both sides).
I know you can't really help MNrs but I just need some love right now. I have an appointment to see the paed doc at the centre on Monday for some advise but in the meantime, you're it!
I have even written to Channel 4 in desperation as they're running a sleep clinic programme soon. I would HATE to be on telly but it seems to be the only option which doesn't involve paying someone lots of money to help us.
Sorry to vent but only way sometimes!!!
