    My DD1 didn't sleep through until she stopped teething which was after 2 years of age. We also had her give up her dummy to the dummy fairy and so she doesn't wake for that anymore either. She wakes every so often but more like once every two weeks, and usually because she's had a bad dream. It does get better. I have to keep telling myself that, as my 15 month DD2 is waking often at the moment. Big hugs xx

    Both of my kids are still waking overnight. DD (now 3) went through a few months of sleeping through which was just awesome but now she is back to waking up about 2 times a night and DS (11 months) is still waking 2 - 3 times a night. But of course they aren't at the same time so I'm up minimum of two times a night and anything up to 4 or 5 times. Hopefully it will settle down for you soon. But it is totally normal sadly. I just can't wait for them to be teenagers so I can wake them up every morning!!!!! That is what is getting me through, LOL!!

    Thanks for replying girls.

    I have thought about having him in bed with me from the start but him and DF are both wigglers and DS likes to sleep on my arm so I keep getting very little restful sleep at all. I thought it was normal gues like every mum I was just hoping there was some magic fix lol. Apparently DF was like this as weel waking every 45 mins till he was about 3, his mum ended up putting rum in his bottle to get him to sleep but I don't think I'll be doing that lol.

    Oh well I guess we'll just keep trucking along, maybe I'll get a month before bubba #2 is born, maybe not, I've become pretty used to waking up and thinking, I can't wait for night to come again lol.
