Yikes Heidi:

It sounds like he may be going thru a phase of difficult sleeping,

but it would alarm me having him wake screaming holding his head,

even w/o his helmet on.

He did fall back to sleep after you let him cry it out, so that is a

good sign. Believe me, I know how difficult it is having them cry it

out,but honestly, it works (as long as they're not sick of course).

Like I said earlier, Abby had a bad bad phase around age 13 or 14 mos

where she'd wake up in the middle of the night to play. Stupid me

allowed this for 3 LONG mos, play from 2-4 am, not a good habit to

get intoby any means I finally had enough come Sept or so 2001,

and made her cry it out (old times remember my stressed out posts

about this!!!), after 3-5 sleepless nights of her crying it out, she

got over it and that was the end of that problem, thank God. I

remember cranking my fan up in my bedroom, covering my ears w/my

pillow and crying right along w/her. It sucked!

I feel your pain, trust me. I really wish I could help you more, but

the day any of us figure out toddlers, we'll be zillionaires!
