i have two kids one boy who is 4 and one who is 1, i had a pretty rough time of it after my fisrt as he was born with severe asthma and used to stop breathing and things like that but we got through and decided to have another, and well i thought i had a hard time with my first that was under statemnet with this 1. by the time my youngest was 7 weeks he began sleeping through the night i though great this is wonderful but then when he was 16 weeks he was rushed into hospital, was really sick but got through it eventually, whilst in hospital he had various tests done which of course he din't like but needed to be done, anyway by the time he was released from hospital he stopped sleeping through the night in fact he used to half wake and begin screaming the doctor put this down to him being traumatised from the hospital and i was told it would settle down, well he is now 13 months old and still does this, it affects him during the day he barely gets any sleep himself and the doctors say there is nothing they can do. i ahve tried all the methods from the controlled crying to the pick up put down method and nothing works, it has affected the whole family so much, i was wodering has anyone else experienced something like this with their kids and if so what did you do? does anything help? love to hear from you, lee

I wonder if thats wrong with my son. My son was born with alot of health problems. He had colic. He had reflux. He teethed early. He had reoccuring ear infections. He had choking spells. He has had three surgeries. He has food allergies. He has been tested for allergies three times. He has mold allergies. He has been through so much his first two years. He used to sleep good at night when he was younger. He sleeps worse now then he did his first few months. He still has a night every now and then where he will sleep real good. He wakes sometimes screaming like something hurts. He even acts like he is scared. I never ask the doctor anymore because they think i should do the cry it out method. But they don't understand my son is in need of me for a reason.
