HELP!!!

This adorable boy


is a MONSTER!!!

He has completely stopped sleeping through the night and has reverted back to some horrible pre-birth stage. He is literally worse than when we brought him home from the hospital. Last night he woke up every three hours. And the two nights before that he was up and screaming from 12 to 4 a.m. I'm becoming insane with exhaustion and don't know what to do. If you have any good tip on how to get a monster child to sleep through the night please, please, please let me know.
(We've already tried the whatever method where you let him cry for ten minutes, go in and comfort him without picking him up, let him cry for 15 minutes etc. Yeah right. If we go in and don't pick him up he goes ballistic. And we've let him cry for an hour and a half at a time and he still didn't give up. HELP!!!)

Maybe he is teething. Teething tablets work great and are all natural. I found them by the vitamins at Walmart on the very bottom shelf. If you can't find them ask the pharmacist.

My vote is with Tami. And some Tylenol never hurts.

I can't handle my kids crying themselves to sleep. I really liked "Secrets of a Baby Whisperer" by Tracy Hogg. Dumb name, but it's worked well for my girls.

I feel for ya. Where you're so tired you just want to cry, and your brain really doesn't work. I hope he sleeps better for you!

The teething tablets are a gem!! Miracle in a bottle would be an appropriate name! Gunner use to see them, or hear us shake the bottle and would start to calm down cuz he knew relief was coming!

Uggg, not getting enough sleep is the worst. I'm right there with you with Freddy not sleeping for more than six hours straight and not getting a good night sleep for over 2 months straight now. It's probably closer to 3 because the last month of pregnancy you're up all night too to go to the bathroom and such. The two books that I love and have followed for all my babies is On Becoming Baby Wise and The Baby Whisper. My suggestion would be to read those books. Good luck!

P.S. You look so beautiful! You can tell your dropping your baby weight. I still have so far to go. :)
