I tell you what! Maybe it's the age? My DS is 9 months this week sometime and he's pretty flippin wakeful like that too. He has a dummy but has started rejecting it through the night and just wants BF. Generally that would be fine except I'm having trouble getting back to sleep - LOL "Self settling" myself!

The only thing I have found that has helped us came from an ABA group, who suggested to load him up with milk in the day time. So I fed him 2 hourly or thereabouts in the days for a couple of days (they said it could take 5ish before effect! It only took 2) and he has been sleeping much longer stretches at night.

No promises, but this has worked for us for some reason. GL!
