    14mths and still wakes 3 times sometimes more

    I have tried everything from wrapping and not feeding and not even phenergan which made things worse I don't know what to do anymore I don't want to co sleep but that seems to be what is happening at the moment so we all end up with a restless nights sleep!

    Ok now I have time I will extend upon this...

    Declan has never slept through once things are really starting to get to me now I am just so damn tired.
    We have put Declan in a single bed and got rid of his cot as he seemed to feel blocked in and since changing to a single bed he starting sleeping better. Basically he sleeps for about 4hrs and then wakes sometimes I give him a dummy and he nods back off, I usually put him to bed unwrapped as he sleeps a bit longer but once he wakes he has to be wrapped up pr he wont go back to sleep.

    Lately he has been sleeping his 4hrs and then another 1-2 and then waking right up and it takes like 1 - 2 hrs to get him back to sleep and lately I have been that knackered I have brought him into bed with us where he usually after awhile settles him self (damn I wish he would do this in his own bed) If I am in his room with him he will lay there generally Ill rub his back etc etc to try and get him to nod back off but if he realises I have left the room he wakes up again and am back to square one. I try not to talk to him or make direct eye contact etc but still he wants me to be there.

    I have tried controlled crying, I have tried natural products like baby calm and things I was ever told by a doctor to use phenergan which didn't work. I don't know what else to do. I would like to have another baby as I wanted them close together but with him sleeping like this it is really out of the question.

    but mroe importantly what else can I try I have even tried eliminating things from his diet feeding him more but nothing seems to help!
