Thanks everyone.
Lach slept like an angel last night.
We even got to put him in his cot. He slept there for 5 hours. It was amazing.
He is in there again at the moment and has been for an hour. He is like a different baby!
I do worry about the SIDS stuff, but we are following all the other advice. I feel that even if he enjoyed sleeping in the cot before now, once he learnt to roll he would eveuntually end up on his tummy.
I HATE sleeping on my back. I have always been a tummy and side sleeper.
I will be trying to put Lach to sleep on his side, but I doubt he will stay there.
Thanks everyone for your reassurances
I know that I have to be very careful, but he doesnt sleep with anything else in the cot except a very tightly tucked in sheet when its cooler.
Here's to him sleeping in the cot every night from now on!
thanks again
