    I agree with the others, I'd be hesitant to wake him if he is sleeping, unless you have to go somewhere! I hate waking DD up, not that I ever really have to, but she wakes up cranky, and so would I if I was being woken from a good sleep! She was also a cat napper and never had a long sleep, so I doubt that method would have worked for us, just would have resulted in a cranky, overtired baby at the end of the day!
    Up until this week she was having one sleep/day which lasted 1 1/2 - 2 hours, but now she is lucky to sleep for over an hour. I'm doing this a bit but I figure she sleeps as much as she needs to, so long as she isn't cranky..
    They will eventually figure it all out. My aunty asked me the other day if I'd taken any tips from the 'Baby Whisperer', I googled it and to me it seems like one of those stickler for routines methods...so to answer her question, uh no..we'll do our own thing and I'm sure one day she will actually sleep!
