Sleeeeeep Help!! Sorry so long!

My 7 1/2 month old son has always been rocked/held to sleep. I've always tried not to cosleep, but he's always ended up in bed with me for at least half the night. I'm so sleepy when I get up with him in the middle of the night, I fall asleep with him trying to get him back to sleep! Noah hasn't slept through the night since about 4 or 5 months old. He used to do pretty good at night and there were several nights he's slept through the night. Well, now he wakes up several times a night and it has gotten to the point where I can't lay him down to go to sleep unless I go to sleep too. Well, I miss my Me time when I used to lay him down in his bed & then go to sleep a few hours later. I am with him 24/7 so I don't get any me time anymore. My hubby's still deployed to Afghanistan or he would be home helping me with him. I'm not trying to complain because I love my son so much & I really do love being a Mommy, I just need some help with this sleep issue! Neither of ushavehad a good night's sleep ina long time. I'm also trying tostop cosleeping all together, because hescooted away from me & fell out of the bed the other morning.  I felt terrible, but he was fine.Oh and everytime I try to cio, I either don't have the heart or he's sick or teething. He's got a cold and is teething right now, so I guess that's where the bad sleep patterns are coming from. He's been teething since 5 months, soooo. I guess I'm just looking for some moral support that it will get better...one day! LOL! My hubby will be home in a few months! Thanks for listening!

I have LOTS of trouble with Lilly sleeping myself. But I have been trying a few things and think MAYBE i'm making progress. But i dont know. If i figure anything out i'll tell you! Good luck!

Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child saved my sanity. It's by Dr. Marc Weissbluth. We started at 7 months as we needed to get her in the crib and she needed more sleep. It cant recommend it strongly enough.
