Amanda it is like you have read my mind! Alex is currently screaming at me from the loungeroom cause he is over tired - well if you didnt wake 5 times last night then we wouldnt be having this problem!!

Alex has been doing this since he was around 5-6 months old, he wakes up screaming, not nice gentle whimpering but actual screaming. We also have had him checked out etc and there appears to be nothing the matter with him. It is getting to the point where I am seriously considering moving to Perth just to get some "proper" help with his sleeping issues.

The only different thing I can suggest is that some people have told me that Alex is having night terrors - yet no-one is able to give me a solution on how to handle these!!!!

And like you and Clare I too am a teary mess. In fact I just got off the phone to DH who is in Perth atm for work telling him that this cannot possibly be my child...
