sleeping??? help

[courtneyln]

so Manfredo is now 15 months....and honestly since he's been born I really don't think I've slept through the night unless he's staying somewhere else. At around 5 months maybe he stopped waking up to eat...but since then he still randomly wakes up, just to cry or look for me or needs his binky...Here's the background, when he was born it was mainly me and him becuase his father worked all the time, so yes I did put him in bed with me a lot. I know that's bad...but when I was pretty much a single parent, I did not have the energy to go into his room and feed him and then put him back to bed in his crib...3 or 4 times a night. I know other parents to do it...I am just a very horrible person when I do not get my sleep. Anyways, i did start putting him in his crib and he slept and napped in it with no problem. Well we get to him being 6,7,8,9 10 months and we got our own apartment. It was a 1 bedroom, so Yes I did still have his crib, but he would not sleep through the night. He would wake up looking for me or my boyfriend(his father). Well we'd try to just let him sooth himself back to sleep,never worked...he would scream for 20 mins at least, then make himself throw up!! So then he knew i'd have to go in and get him. He would even do this if we laid him down a lot, whether he was half asleep, or asleep or  just tired...he would flip. So anyways when he actually did sleep alone, he'd wake up every hour or two looking for us and freaking, and he knew we were there since we all shared a room(big mistake). One of us would go over and sooth him,turn on his music, give him his binky...you know, we'd get him back to sleep and as soon as you move n go back to bed, BOOM, he's up screaming again. Well after dealing with this all the time,each night we said fine, he went to sleeping with us again!!! Even when he sleeps with us he has lil nightmares but not as bad, but he still wakes up sometimes. So now I try again a few weeks later with the crib at nap time, doesn't work, he ends up climbing out n falling right on his head!!! I still have no idea how, so forget it, crib is down!!!! We end up moving and now he has his own room and a toddler bed, hahaha toddler bed is in our room becuase he still will not sleep without one of us, mainly me!!! I have tried a few times, to put him in his bed when he is sleeping, he'll sleep in it for an hour or two,(just like he did with the crib) and wakes up as soon as he realizes we aren't next to him!!! So I go over, sooth him,give him his blanky,binky and lay him back down, say shhhh mommys here..he goes back to sleep and i sit next to his bed for a few minutes(as long as I can before I pass out on the floor) and I go back to bed when he goes back to sleep!!!! Now he wakes up again within 10 minutes...or sometimes he may actually sleep another hour or two before he wakes up screaming. So here I am again, soooo tired from not getting any sleep and I am sooo sick of waking up 4 times a night!!! now he is sleeping with me again...But here's the thing, he will nap in his bed!!! So please, mothers< any advice you have please share it.....I am at my wits end...I cannot deal anymore!!! PLEASE HELP
