Just wanted to join the chorus - its normal! Trust he knows what he is doing and all you can do is be there for him. 4 months was a doozy for us. Phew I am tired just thinking about it. 8 months was worse, but in between has been ok, so as others have said...it will pass!
In the meantime, you need to surround yourself with people who understand babies are humans that need love, breast, and mum's cuddles to sleep. It took me a long time to block out all the other sleep training/formula/cot sleeping ideas, and I have never looked back.
Can you think of ways other people around you could help during this phase? Perhaps you could have an extra sleep in on the weekend? Or could friends/family help with washing or meals just until you're feeling ok again? Also sleeping in the day makes a big difference (I still do it!)
Hope this helps. You're doing a fabulous job trusting your instincts and following your baby's lead.
