Well we are in a sleep deprived household atm and I am willing ti try anything just so we can sleep!!!!

DS Alex started sleeping thru at around 3 months but never consistently and lately it seems to be getting worse. We follow the same routine every night including the good old bath then bottle. He is not ill, there are no noticable teeth coming through and he doesnt "appear" to be having a growth spurt. But what he has been doing for the past 2-3 months issleeping through one night and then waking approx 2 times the next.

So we know that he CAN sleep through we just dont understand why he doesnt. Have tried resettling him when he wakes and sometimes this works. He wont take water in the middle of the night and we dont remove him from his room or put on bright lights. The thing that tends to get him back to sleep is a small bottle (around 120mls).

I have to admit that sometimes we are a bit hasty in giving him the bottle in the night but that is because his bedroom is right next to DD's and we dont want his screaming (and quite often it is screaming) to wake her up.

So my question is - to those of you who have tried givinga dream feed do you find it stops them waking during the night??? As we dont know what else to try.

To top it all off for the past 2 weeks DD has been coming into our bed during the night (last night it was 3 times!) si if its not one that is waking us it is the other!!!! Man I am so dead to the world today...
