Update three***
Well we seen the osteopath and he says that Aiden seems really tense, that he would like him to breathe deeper etc. He also said that it looks like he is traumatised from the birth and when he touched certain spots on his head, Aiden started crying We're going to start going weekly and he will work on his breathing and also his head. We've been advised to stop laying him on his head at the back as much in the mean time. My poor little man Hopefully this will work though

Update one***
Hi girls, well just to let you all know on the GOOD side of things - Aiden slept all night last night I actually feel like screaming because I'm so happy The past few nights we've stopped giving him his 12:30am and 3:30am bottle, and instead making all his feeds between 7am and 10pm. We've also started putting him to bed at 7pm and waking him at 10pm for a quick bottle.. We actually don't know what to do with ourselves in the evening because we have time to ourselves! The past few nights he's woken at 12 and 3ish expecting a bottle, but we've just put his dummy in and he eventually has went back to sleep..
Last night he stirred once and fell back asleep!!!! I can not explain how good it was to get a proper sleep Also today I'm feeling good as I've found an osteopath in Glasgow and I'm going to give them a phone later and get an appointment sorted for CO
Thanks again girls for all the advice and I'll keep you all updated

Aidens crying is getting so bad now It went from him crying about 30% of the day to about 80% now
I honestly don't know what to do anymore. OH is going back to work after being off 2 weeks with tonsilitis, and I know I won't cope on my own tomorrow. I am sooo tired most of the day and there is nothing I can do to stop him crying. He's isn't hungry, needing changed, in pain or anything, he won't amuse himself in any way, when he's wakened you need to be in front of him giving him constant attention, and even doing that he'll cry mostly.
I am at my wits end. Tonight we were at my Mum's for dinner and he started halfway through dinner, my Mum kept saying, put some jam on his dummy I was like - Mum it won't make a difference! Nothing will. Sometimes I need to leave him somewhere safe and walk away because I can't take it, it just makes me feel like crying my eyes out I know we all have days like this, but he is getting worse and worse
I don't even want to take him out anymore because he cries in his pram, in the car, everywhere, the only thing that calms him down is putting music on loud, and that's how I know there's nothing wrong with him, because it always makes him stop.
I've been taking him to chapel every week as he's getting christened soon and I dread it every week incase he starts, he usually falls asleep but when he starts to whimper I have to bounce him, or lift him up and down to distract him
I honestly don't know what to do, any advice? I will try ANYTHING..
