Thanks for the responses.

I've done everything you've listed, except the baby carrier thing because this little episode lasted all afternoon, and all night. DP just didn't bother to go to bed at all. We did go out to the shops for a walk as DS is always happy in the pram, but as soon as we got home he'd worked himself up again.

It's been better today so far but he's still just fighting sleep and waking up really easily. The GP gave us infacol wind drops to try today, and reccomended routine routine routine. Thanks for your ideas, I'm going go go and find my baby carrier for the next inevitable outburst.

This too shall pass lol. I just wish DP could be at home with me forever. Axel loves his Dad and settles better for him.
