I put milo in on his back and always have. Since he's been about 7 months old, he's flipped straight over to his tummy and stays that way all night.
some nights he is pretty sleepy or totally asleep already, after his bottle, but the past few nights he has not wanted his milk at all and I'm thinking it might be gone pretty soon.
He goes through stages of being able and unable to self settle on waking. Ususally if he doesn't its because he is in pain or becuase he has rolled into the side of the cot and woken himself up completely. when this happens, the fastest way to settle him is to hand him over to DH and he will drop ohh in under 30 seconds. If he's sick then I will sleep with him in the spre room on the futon mattress. There has never been a problem with him going back to sleep in his cot on his own once he is better.
Also, 8-9 months old is a milestone period I think and wuite common for night sleeping to be disturbed as the babies apparently practise crawling/standing/walking etc, its in one of Pinky's books, I will see if I can find the quote...
