Thanks for all your replies girls. Just a quick update - over the past few days i have managed to get DS to sleep for 2 hours for his morning & lunchtime sleep by just putting his dummy back in and putting on his music box when he starts to stir,and not talking to him or patting him. He has been going right back to sleep. I think before when i would talk to him, he thought i was coming to have a play! Thanks again
