A Rough Night to Say the Least

Shawn and I were definitely spoiled when Aiden started sleeping through the night early on. But ever since he got sick a few weeks back he hasn't slept through the night once. I've tried increasing the amount of milk he gets at night, but that has just led to a milk supply shortage and no more sleep for any of us. Last night he decided to wake up four times!! Shawn and I tag teamed, but neither of us could get him to go down for the night. So at 4:00 am I just got him up and he lasted about 15 minutes before he was out again. Of course, I was up for the day because there was no point to going back to sleep because the alarm goes off at 5:00 am. I'm so unbelievably tired today. As I type my eyes are drooping. I wish I could take a nap at lunch, but everyone is going out for an office birthday. I'm going to try adding some cereal to his bottle tonight to see if that helps. I've also started cutting out dairy in my diet in case it is upsetting his little belly. Please let one of these work. I don't know how much longer I can take not getting any sleep!!
