Hello, I'm new here and I'm in dire need of help.
I have a 2 year old son, James, who just wont sleep through the night. I have tried literally everything!!! He has a routine which I am very strict with, I do not let him have juice near bedtime, just water. He eats all his dinner and has the appropriate amount of food everyday. He has a good bedtime routine of reading books before bed, and then says goodnight to baby and me.
Things I have tried to get him sleeping through include every method I have ever come accross. Now considering I have the internet, thats a hell of a lot of methods! I've done the controlled crying to being gentle but firm. Cuddling his favourite toy. I do not use being put in bed as a punishment and never have. I have tried everything!! I'm honestly at my wits end! I also have a 7 month old daughter, she wakes once a night for feeding. My son wakes up at least 4-5 times a night!! As I'm a single mother who works, I find sleep very precious, but rare!
If ANYONE has anything they can think of, please tell me. I'll end up in the nut house if this continues! xx
