Thanks ladies! Really appreciate all your comments, they are very helpful

MummaMia, I tried what you do with your DD today and what the other lovely mummies suggested.....DS woke up at 7.30, and I stretched his late morning nap till 12, got lunch into him around 11.45 just when he was starting to rub his eyes, then he slept from 12 till 2 pm!!!!! I couldn't believe it. He woke up all happy and then I fed him at 5 pm and then he started crying for no reason (so I thought), he looked pretty red in the face so I checked his temp, 38 degrees, gave him some panadol and he dosed on and off for half an hour, then about 7.30 I gave him his bottle and he just fell asleep, he was just not himself and very clingy. So I think he did get enough sleep today but the temp. threw him and I suspect it's his teeth as his poo is on a runny side and he keeps sticking his little fingers in his mouth. Poor bugger.

Taurean, I wish my DS loved his sleep like your DD!!!! I looooooooove my sleep but my DF is a '6 hour is enough' person so maybe DS is like daddy?????

MadB, thanks hun, it does suck arse big time!! Especially as you don't get that decent break during the day for just a bit of 'me' time..

Miss E, I feel for you too. Maybe they will be excellent sleepers when all the good ones start playing up???? hehehehehehe

Thanks again everyone
