So I'm ready to F*CKING SCREAM

[Cbell]

I'm writing this so that I don't give into my urge to scream-kick-shout.

Middle of the night and into the second hour of my third wake up with my DS (1yo).

Up until a few weeks ago with a lot of effort he was sleeping from 7-4am, that was using various CC techniques.

Recently we've accepted using gentler techniques again and it jus leads to MORE FUCKING WAKE UPS.

Controlled crying = screaming hysterical child
BF sleep = more wake ups

I am going insane and feel so frustrated with this child.

When will it get better? How to make it get better?

Also co sleeping does not work for us = 2-3 hours awake

Hmm well if the OP

A) works
B) has another child

She can hardly sleep during the day can she. (sorry but it pisses me off when this is trotted out as a solution when it's not always practical)

OP I feel your pain, my 11mo is similar, wakes up numerous times a night and bf back to sleep. I take the path of least resistance and co sleep and just hope to god that he will get there eventually (his big bro did so that gives me hope!)

Eh I'm sure before I wrote this there were a couple of responses saying sleep when the baby does during the day, hence my rant!

I think there's a duplicate of this thread moodie as I just replied to the other one but I'm in the same camp as you. Go with with whatever is least stressful to get them back to sleep and things will improve on their own.
