You are NOT a failure!! He just loves his Mommy!! Talk to MrsLipgloss, I know she has had the same issues.

Could you try wearing your DH's shirt so he doesn't smell you? Maybe that would help.

I agree sounds like he just loves mommy! Just keep working at it. I know for me when I finally moved him to his own room and quit going into check on him at every little noisy that he seemed to sleep better and longer. But mine woke-up several times a night until about 7 months. Then I started seeing him sleep longer periods. As for naps. Sometimes daycare can get him to take two. But most days forget it. hang in there I know these early months are rough.

Not a failure! My son slept in a crib (IN A CRIB!!) for daycare at 14 weeks. Meanwhile I held him for naps until he was nearly 6 months old. We didn't even attempt a crib for bedtime until around 6 months either.
The 4 month regression is tough, but baby sleep isn't your fault. I asked our pediatrician if I was ruining my son by not making sure he slept "better". She said "better" is relative and it's fine to do whatever works best for him and us.
Hang in there! A good patch of sleep is right around the corner!

No advice just sympathy. At 6 months sleep around here sucks big time. I feel like we are still n survival mode.

You are not a failure! B won't nap for me either. He naps like a champ for my mom though.

At night, are you against giving him a bottle? B doesn't sleep well if I nurse before bed. He gets sleepy before he gets full which results in nighttime wake ups. If I give him a bottle he usually STTN. Sometimes, I give him a bottle a nurse him to top him off so that we still have the snuggle time.

@grizz: All I can say is hang in there, my LO was an awful sleeper at that stage. do you have white noise? Because that helped my LO stay asleep longer

No advice, mama. Just know that you aren't a failure and I'm there with you on the no sleep train! We will get through this.
