Help!! I am wondering if anyone could advise me on how to get Cooper to sleep longer in the day.

We went away on holidays for 2 weeks, and Coopers days sleeps went from two or three sleeps ranging from 1 - 2 hours, to no more than 3 x 45 min naps. We got back home last week, and whilst he is now able to put himself to sleep (I could really only put him to sleep in my arms whilst we were away), he just will not go past the 45 min.

Do a lot of babies live on sleeps like this? Everyones babies I know sleep longer, and whilst Cooper is OK on this amount of sleep, I find that he does go hyper when he doesn't have much sleep.

I put him to bed anywhere from 6-7.30 (I was able to get him to bed religiously at 6 until we went away). He also wakes up in the night anywhere from 1-4 times a night - there is no set pattern.

I have tried everything. Patting him, letting him cry for a little bit, self settling - EVERYTHING (or am hoping someone can give me some other suggestions.

He has one bottom tooth up, and I can see another one popping up next to it (hasn't cut the gum yet though)

Thank you
