Oh Hugs hun... its aweful isnt it... I'm sure there are many mums on here that sympathise with you...

Have u tried a sling to help settle him down???

I did controlled crying with my DD... every sleep school recommended it and i was sick of trying and failing... Its very hard to hear ur baby crying. Our problem was feeding to sleep. DD depended on it. when we started i cried while she did... It broke my heart. i used to get the routone started by dinner, bath, massage dressed, story cuddle feed and into cot. same every night. i would put her down put on her music not look at her not talk and walk out. i would then be so sad i would have to check the mail or bring washing in or something to get away for those 1st 2 mins...

If u dont want to do controlled crying i'm sure there will be plenty of people here to give u ideas... But i found once DD learnt to fall asleep by herself things started getting easier.
