Sleeping - or lack thereof - can be the bane of a parent's life. Many of us have felt how you do. I had two great sleepers (DS1 and 2) but DS3 is a catnapper. I've worked out that for my (our) sanity, if he doesn't sleep after approx 45 mins of trying, I just get him back up and try again half an hour or an hour later.

Is your DH available to give you a break for a while? Personally I've been known to go punch a pillow several times over in sheer frustration when I just can't get DS3 to sleep (... not exactly a mature reaction, but hey ... doing something physical in a safe manner was therapeutic at the time!!) I know you're not after advice, but have you tried taking bub to a chiropracter just to see if they can help? I take DS3 to a great chiro and I swear by their adjustments.

Lots of deep, calming breaths hunny. I hope he nods off for you very soon xx
