DS is not a good sleeper and every time it seems like we are making a little progress we have a setback. He STTN for a few weeks around 3 mos. then he got a cold with terrible congestion that lasted a month - and by the end of it his sleep was totally messed up. So we sleep trained and it helped. Bed time was better and we he was down to one wake up. Then he got another cold, then the flu, then teething, then travel... He is 7mo and we are back to multiple night wakings and nursing 2-3 times a night. We tried sleep training (Ferber) a few nights ago and it helped for 3 nights. Now he is cutting 3 teeth and we are back to disaster town.

I feel like I have tried everything, and nothing seems to stick. Should I just give up and accept his crappy sleep and do whatever it takes to get some rest? Or keep trying with the sleep training? Hold out hope for better sleep?

Sorry for the novel...
