All I want for Valentine's Day is a good nights sleep!

My son is the happiest, funniest, sweetest baby in the world but I'm seriously starting to not like him between the hours of 10:30 p.m to 6 a.m. He's a horrible sleeper, has been since day one but I keep hoping one night I'll lay him down and he'll just sleep all night! I break every sleep training rule possible, I rock to sleep... Still swaddle him in his Woombie... Keep a binky shoved in his mouth and when all else fails put him in bed with us nightly it's way easier to replace his binky when he's right next to me! I'm totally hopeless! We tried Sleepeasy at Christmas which helped him put himself to sleep and night wean his feedings but he never slept straight through. The new year brought RSV and two top teeth and now an ear infection. With all that any progress we made went down the drain. Now he screams so loud I don't even know how CIO is a possibility. I swear he could wake the neighbors! Please tell me he's not the only 8 month on this board not sleeping! And any second time moms with previous horrible sleepers please tell me it'll magically end!

    We are there with you. I just want one full night of sleep. It will get better! I keep telling myself that this infant phase will be over soon.

    I am telling you ladies, I was right there w you about a month ago. I got the happiest baby on the block sleep book and it had some awesome ideas. So we bulked up our bedtime routine a bit and are rigidly consistent, and now her sleep is not perfect but so much better.

    So it's not hopeless... Go to the library today and get some sleep books. You'll feel so much better taking steps to try to solve the problem... I know I did!

    Thanks for the replies Its good to know other moms can sympathize! I started reading this blog last night in my delirium troublesometots.com and this lady has pretty much every CIO method broken down. I think we're going to try full extinction CIO tonight because the check in's only make it worse . I'm taking my three year old to a birthday party tonight and leaving it up to my husband to start. And am praying by the time I get home the crying has stopped!
