Hi.

You may have read my previous post about patting my son to sleep. I really am starting to lose my mind. But I am going to a Sleep Education Class this afternoon, where I anticipate that they will recommend CC. I am happy to try it, but I was wondering if it will work. I have to say that at this stage, if it doesn't work after about a week, I will probably have some kind of a break down, as I can't handle it when my son is upset. I feel like I don't deserve him. He is so wonderful and I can't be the mother that I need to be. What kind of mother can't help their child sleep? Sometimes I wish that I could just leave. I can't even talk to anyone about it because if I talk to my husband or mother they will just worry about me. I get nervous everytime he gets tired because I know that there will be nothing I can do to help him. Patting doesn't even work anymore. Today he fell asleep while we were coming home in the car (after screaming for about 30 minutes) and when I tried to move him into the cot he woke up. Then he was grizzly for about 20 minutes, screamed for about an hour and wouldn't respond to patting or being fed to sleep (these used to work). He's actually really good at night time, but I don't know how much longer I can do this. Please help me. I really feel like I have nowhere to turn.
