Well we have had some success. On Tuesday night, I gave him water straight away like you suggested Salad, and he went back to sleep easily. He woke again an hour later, had more water then went back to sleep. All up he woke 3 times but went back to sleep easily each time. Just that made a huge difference for me yesterday. By yesterday afternoon - we had a tooth! He had been tricking me. I guess the teething necklace is working as he normally cries and carries on for weeks before a tooth comes through but none of that - just awake & calm while I was with him. Last night was heaps better. He only woke once about 2.30 and went back to sleep easily after some milk. He was such a happy boy this morning. Yay happy dance

Fig: Thanks for the advice. I will save that for when he is a bit older as I don't think he will understand the concept of "coming back" just yet. He stands up as soon as I'm out of sight and starts sooking ATM.

Olive: I hope you have some success soon too.

Kaz: Please let me know how the sleep school goes. I'd be very interested to hear if it works for you especially as our DS's are so similar. So far I have just been hoping he'll grow out of it but it's getting to the point where we have to do something. I'm not even sure where I'd find a sleep school lol. I agree that that some babies just need less sleep. DS seems to be one of them. I'm a wee bit jealous of those mums who have babies that sleep for 14 hours without a peep then have a nap as well! Pinky mentioned something like that in her book. Good luck!
