Hi Bek,

My DS had similar changes and I'm afraid still changes his entire routine just when you have got used to it. I did notice that he would start night waking around the time of reaching big milestones such as walking and crawling.

I also wondered how I would know when to drop bottles and day sleeps.. and he always let me know by refusing to drink, or have his sleep. My son kept his two day sleeps until about 15 months but a lot of the kids in my Mothers group went to one sleep around age 1.
Around 1 my son also demanded that he feed himself. We had to change to lots of finger food and I let him have weetbix in the morning which was always a huge mess. We have also had fussy phases with food and what he loves one week he will refuse the next. If he refused his dinner I still always gave him his fruit and yoghurt (which to this day he has never refused) so at least I knew he had something in his tummy.
