Well, a couple of thoughts....
Traedone was horrid for J. Did the same thing and he was so drugged at night that he couldn't wake up if he was scared. We swithed to melatonin last year. It's been working great. At the time, J couldn't swallow pills, so we did the chewable kind. I read a study about it and we decided to try it. It's worked great and J is sleeping better and able to wake up if he needs to. PLus he can fall back to sleep if he does wake up. (this was our big problem)
I think the AT will be your best resource in the stuck at infant thing. It sound's like you are off to a good start. One thing that is great for that age is rocking and singing to them in a rocking chair. Also, when an infant tantrums, the best thing is to hold the. I don't put M down unless *I* can't handle it. If he's to big to hold during a fit, then sit next to him and rub his back. Say soothing things to him to help him know that you are there.
Congratualtions!
