Well, for all of Coopers sleeps since yesterday, it has been a real mission to get him to sleep because he is so used to the dummy. He has screamed the house down, demanding the dummy! Everytime I have picked him up to settle him, he is so tired, but his little mouth stays open, and he whimpers for it. It broke my heart, but it was so cute, reminded me of little baby birds waiting for their mother to feed them!!

So tonight I put him to bed, and patted him for no more than 30 seconds, and he was asleep! I can't believe it. It is such a relief.

I have done a little bit of control comforting, (I have let him cry, but never let it go for too long) and I have already noticed a difference. Usually in the day, he would have maybe a morning sleep for 45 minutes and then one in the arvo for about an hour and a half (at the most). Today he had onein the morning for an hour and half, and this afternoon for 2 hours! At about 1am last night, he was upset because he wanted the dummy, but he only woke up once, and slept through til 6.30am.

So thanks everyone who gave me some advice, I am hoping that this is a sign of good things to come.
