Getting Baby to Sleep

I am a single mom of a 6 1/2 month old baby and my baby started sleeping all night at 4 wks old and then all of a sudden a couple of months ago he started going backwards and waking up several times in the middle of the night and not being able to fall asleep on his own. The only way i can get him to go to sleep is by rocking him and now sometimes he fights me and his sleep, It takes me up to 2-4 hrs before i can get him to sleep. Please Help

Excema and Poor Sleep Habits

Hello fellow mamas! I am going a little bit crazy with sleep deprivation. My daughter has excema and wakes up very frequently scratching herself, at least every 2 hours throught the night, if not more. She really resists sleeping at all, the only way I can get her to sleep, or back to sleep is nursing.
