Have you come across Harvey Karp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l21kbipjCBs&feature=youtube_gdata_player Try borrowing a battery swing, see if that helps? Give cosleeping a try? It can have miraculous effects In this warm weather you wouldn't even need covers. Just sleep on a firm surface, mother and baby, no covers or light sheet to your waist, one small square cushion under your head. If you google 'breast feed lying down' and can find a comfortable position, it might be a big breakthrough to how much sleep you get. In m experience, none of my babies liked being alone. They liked lying skin to akin with me. Once I gave up trying to argue my corner, sleep ensued for both parties (and all three of us, even, when I had twins) Hope you can find something that helps. It will ease bit by bit, as he gets older, anyway X
