Awww hun - its a tough time isnt it, especially when ur obviously doing everything for him.
We are starting to have 4 mnth sleep regressions and its driving me mad too as Im a devil on sleep deprivation.
If your aiming for bed at 7.30. Maybe try and get him to nap at 5.30/6 just for a power nap so hes not over tired when its really bed time. That waqy he'll be refreshed for his nap too.
When I struggle to get A to sleep. I sit him on my knee and turn him into me, I put his dummy in and do lots of shh shhh shhh shhhh by his ear, not in his ear though, lol....once his eye start batting, I then put him down gently, stroking his head.
One thing I would say hun, is dnt feel a failiure for giving him a dummy of u think its worth a go, it was a god send for us and I kept saying...noooo....nooooo...I dnt want austin to have one and I dnt like how they look in babies mouthds etc...but it really helps. he only has it for bed time, as he like ur LO sucks his fingers/thumb in the day.
Hope it gets better for u sweety xxx
