I wish number 14 was - Having Grandma Brown rock him to sleep!
Hi,
I found you on the Thursday Thirteen hub...You sounded desperate. I am sorry to hear about your baby's sleeping troubles. My son didn't have trouble sleeping, so I don't really have any good advice.
How old is he? I don't think I read that. When my son was young, I would lay beside him until he fell asleep....sometimes, he just needed a calming back rub. Do you think his tummy is upset or other digestive probs...sometimes gas or tummy problems make for a very unrestful night. Sorry I couldn't really help, but I just wanted to reach out...I know being a Mom is hard.
I hope you and your hubby get some rest through all this. This can often take a toll on your relationship, too. Love on each other through this. :) Your friend in blogworld...Angie
