I am at my wits ends and really don't know what to do. This is my 4th child - I never had these issues with my first three kids....

He is 18 months old, never took a pacifier or a bottle really, extremely attached to me (even though he goes to daycare and does great there, doesn't cry when I drop him off etc), still obsessed with nursing. I got him a sippy cup and offer to him often but he wants to nurse. Bedtime is a nightmare - I have to nurse him, then put him in his crib and have to rock him or pat his back until he falls asleep. He wakes up at night sometimes every couple of hours, he hasn't slept through the night since he was born (yes, I feed him good dinner and make sure he eats a snack close to bedtime). I cant leave him with anyone at night because he just screams for me - for hours .

I don't have time/koach for my older kids, or for myself and dh. I just found out I am pregnant (was not expecting that....)and I really need to train him before the next kid is born or we will both go mad.

Help me and my baby please! I know crying it out is probably something many will suggest, but I need to wean him first and offer him another way to soothe himself....and he is very stubborn and could scream for hours. I don't know if I can handle that....

Any and all suggestions are welcome.....!!
