[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could try the Weissbluth book - there's some good troubleshooting stuff in there that seems to work for a lot of parents.

I have no real advice because my first child slept through the night at 4 months and my second child didn't sleep through the night until 17 months!

Do you have a partner who can do some of the 5:30 wake ups? If you can nap when he naps, I would just do that and not get other things done. Oh well.

The only other thing I'll say is that I was so tired for 17 months but then he started sleeping through the night and honestly.... I don't know, I thought it would solve all my life's problems, and it didn't haha. And basically a week after he started sleeping through the night I pretty much forgot about the previous 17 months. He's 2.5 now and I'm still here![/quote]

The PP above me has a good point. Have you considered just putting him to bed later? I know it's shocking, but one thing that also helped with my son was putting him to bed at 9! I NEVER did that with my first child - it was always bed at 7. My son still takes one nap and goes to sleep at about 9:30 and wakes up about 7:30. Some kids just don't need 14 hours of sleep every day or 12 hrs of overnight sleep.[/quote]

Mine broke all the rules and needed a later bedtime too. The more sleep generates more sleep thing was a myth for him. OP put him to bed later or go to bed earlier yourself. He also doesn't need food overnight[/quote]
