Some of you may have read other threads of mine and will know my DS is not such a great sleeper. We have patches of good nights but rarely do we make it through a whole night without being resettled in mummys arms or bed. To begin with it wasn;t a problem for me but now i am back at work three days a week and he is almost one and i am scared of forming "bad" habits not to mention exhausted.
So thinking i was being proactive and responsible i contact our local sleep settling clinic for some help and maybe a day stay or home visit. my MCH nurse has suggested way too many times to let him cry it out but i just can't and honestly i thought there would be more options. BUT apparantly not basically thats all they told me they do i feel so let down i could just cry and cry. I rang for help and some options that didn't involve letting my little man cry his heart out.
I don't want to let my baby scream to sleep but i am not functioning after being up so many times during the night I am petrified of falling asleep on the way home while im driving.
Has anyone had success with controlled crying and how did you get over the guilt or has anyone got other ideas or methods that work.
this thread is not for judging what others do or don't do but i genuinely want to hear all ideas please post what you have done for your children.
