Thanks hun, where did you get the pillow from? I looked in a few places yesterday and couldn't find any cot pillows. Maybe I should take the side off the cot and see how he goes... We're a little bit worried about him getting in and out, especially because we have lots of stairs, but then I do still have the AngelCare monitor on, so we'd know right away when he got up!

Not too sure about the whole bedtime thing, it feels like there is never a right time iykwim? His tired signs used to be so obvious and when I'd put him down he'd be asleep within 10 mins. Now he can be in bed, yawning and rubbing his eyes and still not go to sleep. Because it's taking so long to get him to sleep his nap is getting later and later which has meant that bedtime is too... He's always had a tired period at around 9.30am so I'm wondering if giving him a nap earlier in the day might help... Ah who knows, it doesn't matter how long you do this parenting stuff, there's always a new challenge that leaves you feeling like a complete novice
