Thanks Jodi. Cooper was 19 weeks old yesterday.

It's just frustrating because he is awake for so long and gets tired. I see him yawn so I put him in his cot. He fusses and cries and then eventually I will go to feed him and he will finally feed (and fall asleep in my arms). This is usually 4 hours exactly from the last feed. So this new thing he's doing is suddenly turning into a clockwork routine!

For example, this morning he woke for a feed at 3.30 am. He then woke around 5.30 am and I couldn't resettle him. I brought him into bed with us around 6.00 am for some cuddles etc. He became quite grizzly and fidgity. I tried to feed him at 6.30 am (3 hours between feeds). He sucked for about 2 minutes and then cried and pulled off. So I put him on his play mat and he happily played for a while. Then around 7.00 am I saw him yawn so put him in his cot. He cried and cried etc. I kept going in to pat him and shush him etc. Then at 7.30 am I went in and picked him up. I tried to feed him and he latched on straight away and fed for 15 minutes on one side and 10 on the other.

I did wake him up after the feed and now he's playing on his play mat again. Thought I'd try to keep him up for a while before trying bed time again.
