My 7 month old is driving me insane. He refuses to go to sleep even when he's so tired he looks like he's going to pass out. I lay with him until he falls asleep but that will literally take 20-45 minutes with him nonstop kicking me, pulling my hair, smacking my face. I'm about to have a breakdown.

He gags himself with his bottle because it's like he knows that will make him fall asleep so he won't take it. I give him oragel for his teeth when that seems to be bothering him. I'm honestly lost on what to do.

Is it even possible for a 7 month old to take advantage of his mommy lmao cause that's really what it feels like*sarcasm*.

I was so against crying it out but I don't want to allow him to get used to acting like this.
