He woke me five separate times between 11-4 am.

He hasn't nursed in 9 months. He spent hours outside yesterday. He has a bedtime routine. He doesn't nap regularly or he is up forever at night. He truly needs more sleep.

We've tried cal/mag, Epsom salt baths, melatonin, Benadryl

, calm child herbal tonic, aromatherapy, homeopathy. He has white noise. He sleeps with Caden. I am so done. He wakes more than Tessa! He can STTN. He does it occasionally. But I cannot see what makes those nights different.

He came to bed before dh got home last night. Dh put him back in his bed. Then he later tried to get on the couch with me. I put him in bed with dh. He came back out. I put him back. He wet out of his diaper somehow and came back out. I put a towel down for him and changed him and he came out again where I gave up, shamed him for waking me me

, and let him sleep on the couch. I couldn't even go back to bed since he peed. I am so tired. So spent with his lack of sleep.
