my 7 month old is having sleeping issues

By slpmom Wednesday, October 27, 2010

I need your help. I have a 7month old baby and i am a young single mother in college. so a schedule is a really hard thing for us. at this point (i know its bad) but my son really doesnt have a schedule at all. on days i dont have school he wakes up and a couple hours later he is down for about a 1-2 hour nap then in the afternoon he will take another nap. sometimes he will even take a 30-45 min nap a couple hours before bed. on days that he is in daycare he will only sleep for 30-45 mins all day then come home and sleep for an hour and is awake till bed. now the getting to bed is the real hard part lately. he has never slept though the night but lately has been much worse. i will get him to sleep then he will just start screaming (while he is asleep) and i cant do anything to stop it. eventually he stops and i go to sleep about every 1-2 hours he starts screaming. the thing is he isnt awake. i give him a little formula and his nuk and he goes back to sleep. i dont know what is going on and i dont know how to help him.
