Sleepless nights

Message	From
Our 17mth old son has recently gone into the room with his 8 yr old brother. We have had a few bad nights, but all in all it has worked out ok. If he cries for a while he does wake his brother and we have a very tired boy the next day, but everyone is reasonably happy with the set up. Does your 12 yr old have a tv and other things in their room that they would usually use, as they would have to be willing to stop doing that. It would more than likely wake him otherwise.	elvenfairy Tue 7th Oct 2008 11.57pm
HELP!!! Our 14 month old son has, for the last 3 weeks, woke during the night crying. Since then we are only getting about 2 hours sleep a night and we are absolutely exhausted.(his cot is our room and previous to this he was a great sleeper.) The only thing that settles him is letting him sleep with us . I know this can be dangerous and we dont actually get any sleep as we are so scared that we will suffocate him. On a health vistors advice, we tried controlled crying which was very difficult and upsetting for us all. Even after 3-4 hours of crying he still wouldnt settle and it would wake our other 2 older children. Having spoken to a different H.V since, they have suggested that we wont solve the matter unless our son is sleeping in another room away from us. we only have a 3 bedroom house so he will have to share a room with his 12 year old brother. Does anyone have any views if this may work?	bexster Mon 6th Oct 2008 7.49pm
