Ok, I need some advice. My little Gavin, I love him to death, but he is such a horrible sleeper! I am seriously about to go crazy because I never, ever get any sleep. I don't know what is wrong with him! Some nights he is up every hour, most nights he is up at least 4 times. It is sometimes very hard to get him back to sleep because he is so upset. It's like he wants to just be up and go play or something. We have tried to just let him cry and scream but that doesn't work either. I think he just doesn't require much sleep. Anyway, I am at my wits end with this, it's been way too long since I have had a full night's sleep and I am really starting to show it now. I have no patience with my kids and you would think I am getting alzeimers because I can't even remember what I am doing or talking about half of the time. I am sorry about my complaining but if anyone has any advice or know of any good drugs (just kidding) to get my child to sleep I would be sooooo grateful! Thank you!

Ok I am not any help in the kids department, But he is so dang cute!!
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you this doesn't last long, I know sleep is a wonderful thing when you get a good nights rest, so don't worry your not complaining at all.
Love,
Kathy
I wish I knew how to help. Do you want me to come and live there so I can help you out? or maybe you could move here?! I would really hound your doctor about helping you. There has got to be something wrong with him. Maybe he has heartburn at night. I don't know. I am really sorry though.
hey melissa! i am so sorry about your little guy not sleeping. brilynn doesn't sleep either and so i know a little about sleep deprivaton. last week was WAY rough and i did not know what to do, i felt like i was losing my mind, literally. so i talked to my mom and she suggested i go to the natural medicine place in town - i don't know what you would call it, so i just came up with natural medicine, but you know what i mean, right? they have only natural stuff for all kinds of ailments. anyway, since i was DEPERATE i went there and told the guy what was going on and everything and he gave me these tablets that you dissolve in their mouths and they're just supposed to relax them and calm them down, i don't remember what they're called and i'm at work so i can't look but when i get home i'll check. anyway, they are specifically for kids and i have used them the last 2 nights and she has slept through the night - only woken up to get her binky and then right back to sleep. brilynn hated me dissolving them in her mouth so i just dissolved them in water and then made her a bottle right before bed with that water and it seems to work. i believe it's them working because she has NEVER slept that good before. so it's a suggestion, i had tried EVERYTHING too and so desperation finally won out and it's working...at least for now. ha ha! hopefully that helps you if you try it. i will try to remember to get the name of it tonight. if they don't have it at a store by you i will totally send you some if you really want to try it out, it's only like $6 or something. sorry this is a novel. good luck!
