Willow, as you probably know from some of my posts, Tom was a shocking sleeper for the first 3 months or so too. After Jack who was sleeping through by 6 weeks (not bad for a bf bub!) and a good day sleeper, it was quite a shock to the system. The amazing thing is though that now Tom is a much better sleeper than Jack was at the same age. Jack started well, but day sleeps went to pieces at about 5 months, and night sleeps went totally astray when he was 7 months. His sleeping only just went back to being good when he was about 15 months. Tom on the other hand took longer to sleep well (he rarely slept through until about 12 months, but would only wake for a feed and then go straight back down), but hasn't gone off track (except for a couple of nights at a time when he's teething). So I think to a certain extent it's swings and roundabouts, you can have the problems early on, or later, but none of us (or few of us) get off scot-free.

So the point of my ramblings is that just because your DS is not a good sleeper now, doesn't mean that it will stay that way. You might find that it all falls into place in a couple of weeks and then things will be a lot easier for you. I hope so!
