    We talked for almost an hour. It was all a bit overwhelming because after discussing when it happens, what I do when it happens, what helps him when he screams, etc. it boiled down to nothing medically wrong with him. It's all behavioral which was super upsetting but makes complete sense. He's so much worse with me than with DH. The doctor said physically he isn't showing signs of any problems and is growing perfectly on track. He went over in detail how to get out of the loop and I'm really hopeful. It was pretty hard to hear that it's basically my doing but I can't argue with what he said because everything he said rang true. I was almost in tears for a lot of it but it was all really helpful and reassuring and I think he felt bad explaining it to me.

    We explained what works best and even though a lot of it isn't really recommended by most peds he said to do what works for Charles. So tonight, after spending the past few weeks with him in our room in the car seat I'm ready to try the crib again.  Charles gets to sleep in his own bed on his side!

    I really hope the techniques and advice he gave works. He took his shots like a trooper and is growing really well, which is another indication that he's medically ok. I just hope I can keep my behaviours and anxieties in check and get this under control. The doctor said it's really good that I've already hit the point where I love him but I don't always like him. He said the sooner a mother hits that point the easier it is to deal. So fingers crossed...  Thanks for asking!!

    I'm sorry it took so long to respond- lo would wake up everytime I'd try to write back. Anyway, I'm glad that he's growing well and medically ok. That's the most important thing. I hope his advice helps you both. My sister once told me that with children, a mantra worth repeating is "this too shall pass". I know it will and I know you are a great mom, too.

    Thanks Myst! I tried the crib but after he kept waking up upset I decided that trying to put him back in his crib the night he got his first shots is just cruel so he slept with us again.

    I tell myself daily "It will get better" - so far I've only had two melt downs since 7 but he's starting to act like he's about to make that three... lol
