i know what its like to suffer sleepless nights when baby doesnt want to sleep and you do, try not to get frustrated i know thats easier said than done, remember baby will pick up on you getting frustrated regular thing to do is take turns but when you are a single parent its not that simple, i know you dont like him being left to cry its hard to do, but just walking away while he is safe is a simple answer, make sure he has everything he needs, like his nappy changed feed, check obvious like temp belly ache

its hard for babies to get across why they are crying and this frustrates us as parents more, is there somebody you could call on to give you a hand just to take him to calm him

i was asked about this by a single parent a copuple of weeks ago she thought baby was reacting to change of smell coming of mum as she had just jhad a bath and baby kept screeming, i drove there and took baby and calmed her down i think she had tummy ache as soon as she was comfortable and mum wasnt showing signs of panic passed her bk and all was fine though this wasnt at 1 in morning

good luck you are doing a great job
