Hiya, last night my ds who is 16 months cried and cried and cried. He woke at 12 then at 2, then 3 and cried til 4am. Thats when I was at the end of my rope and put him in his crib in his own room where he cried himself to sleep (it took about thirty mins). An hr later I went in to check and put a cover on him. I never normally do this and ama against cio but inwas starting to feel agitated so this was the safest thing to do. I had to work the next day and felt so so exhausted. Dh refused to get up and help despite being on holiday from work (he's a teacher). I feel so so guilty for not being there for ds. Especially if he was teething or in some kind of pain. He always wants to breastfeed when he wakes. This is also exhausting. I'm finding it so hard to combine work and being on form with giving him the comfort he needs in the night. Dh is no help and thinks my approach is at fault and I should just leave him to cry.
