Marlene hun ... my DS1 was like this - it was like he would miss out on something if he went to sleep ... I spent about the first 6 or so months of his life surviving on 2 hours of sleep per night (I was also at uni, so essays and the such had to be done!!) He hated being wrapped, and was so alert all the time.

Nothing worked for me, I just had to persevere until he got over it ... mind you, he didn't sleep through the night til he was nearly 4! All I can do is sympathise with you, I really understand how tiring it can be (especially when you've got 3 other kids to look after!)

As for not taking the bottle, DS3 won't (and he's such a mummy's boy!) And "useless" partners - well, mine is gone all week for work! hun, and I hope Jack settles back down for you!
