So LO is almost 14 mo and sleep has been an absolute nightmare his entire life. I have tried ALL of the sleep training methods, but he has always regressed within 2-3 weeks for one reason or another. I've tried a few different types of check-ins, the sleep lady shuffle, extinction, etc. I've also tried just being totally zen about everything and not worrying too much about his sleep. All utter failures in the end. At this point, almost every night is a fight and he wakes up every 2-3 hours. He is in and out of our bed throughout the night (because I simply can't get up that often so we end up co-sleeping a lot of time, but he still sleeps horribly in bed!) and we are both getting awful sleep. This kid literally HATES sleep. I am pretty much losing it - I am always stressed out, my body is a wreck and I think that, although I have a hard time admitting it, I am just starting to fall apart. I've got a lot of craziness going on besides his sleep troubles and after 14 months of torture and CONSTANT stress about his sleep, I don't know what to do. I've recently realized that he simply won't sleep decently unless I night wean (I know it won't be magically perfect after that, but I know it will make a huge difference) and I am MIA at night (hubby is willing to deal with any night wake-ups). But I'm feeling really guilty about considering night weaning before LO wants to/is ready to. I just can't let that feeling go...
Somebody talk me down!
