kim, i can't believe how tough you've been doing it & for how long as well.

my DS is similar in many ways & DP is sleeping in the spare bed so i can co-sleep with DS as well. the pragmatic part of me says the co-sleeping makes sense because it means i don't have to actually get out of bed, even if i am get woken up 6-10 times a night. but then i wonder whether he would actually sleep better in his cot & i wasn't so close? but i've been a bit chicken to find out cos i hate the thought of getting in & out of bed all night.

i think astrid's suggestions sound good - i've been thinking about seeing an osteo for a while now. and additives just seem to get nastier & nastier the more i read!

anyway, just wanted to let you have another person here who understands but who is also anti-CIO methods & wants very much to believe that things will improve on their own. vent away i say, you're very much justified in doing so!
