Please don't be so hard on yourself as a fellow mumma of a very bad sleeper I feel your pain. Marcellus and aussienic are right it is TORTURE when you try so hard for them to sleep for such little actual sleep time. We started wrapping
DS again in a cot sheet from about 10 mnths until just recently so I would definitely give it a go. I swear if
DS would just stay still for 30 seconds he would be asleep
I'm sure you know what I mean
Like Marcellus we now put
DS down when is exhausted cause he just won't sleep when we hav tried to put him down when he starts to show tired signs. I have tried too many times and still dread every sleep time - at least it is only 1 sleep time now so I don't feel like such a failure.
For me at 15 mnths he still wakes too many times over night, I also thought that surely by now he would be sleeping through... but no. I find the more I stress about it the worse it all seems, when I just go with the flow and accept that isn't always going to be like this the better I cope.
I found that first year really, really difficult. I always thought that the newborn/baby stage would be the best but for me toddlerhood is wonderful even with the disturbed sleep
