Lee, I have posted so often in here about DS's habits - the last week he has slept until 3-4am (from an 8pm bedtime, waking 8.30-9ish to be patted back) last Friday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. He now has a cold so it's all out the window (that and DH wasn't home last night, DS likes his routines). But he's doing it at last. WITHOUT leaving him to cry, as many have told me to do.

Just because he didn't do it at 8 weeks (and I am therefore doing something wrong according to my mother) doesn't mean he will never do it. He is so secure too and loves coming to me to give me a big hug and then tries to charge off again. And have a baby try to give you a kiss is just the greatest thing ever. I'm sure if I had ignored his needs he wouldn't love me so much, nor be so demonstrative.
