Andrew kept getting worse and worse with his sleep. He came home at 7 months old, and by the time he was 8 months old I was exhausted! Getting up 2-4 times per night and it got to the point I would have to give him a bottle to get him back to sleep. At 7 moths he was 23 pounds, so I knew that wasn't the problem.......... He wasn't napping well, either and I was at my wits end.
DH laughed at me (literally) but I bought the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Baby and read it straight through one Sunday. That night we implemented the "program". Andrew now sleeps from 6:30 pm or 7:00 pm until 6:00 am. He occassionally wakes up during the night (not very often, though) and he has learned to put himself back to sleep. He is napping two times per day for about 2 hours each nap.......
I SWEAR by the Healthy Sleep Habits book. Buy it and read it today!
BTW, Andrew had been with us for 1 + month and was clearly bonded to us before we started this program......
GOOD LUCK - I hope you get some sleep soon!
