Sorry - forgot to say that he has a bf before dinner. Tried to put him to bed last night about half an hour earlier but we still had 45 mins of crying *sigh*. He was rubbing his eyes during dinner but I can't think of what else to do unless I put him to bed at 5:30pm. I wouldn't mind that except that he sleeps for 12 hours at night (almost exactly) so he'd be up at 5:30am .

I'm sure things will change in time...they always do.

Thanks for the advice
