Thanks everyone...

I think I need to change my sig... he's 8months old practically! And he's been waking up a minimum of 3 times a night from about the 4month mark, and some nights it as many as 8.I'll often offer a feed. Some nights, he has a feed and will go straight back to sleep, others nights, he has a feed but as soon as he's finished, he wakes up. We do end up cosleeping from about 3am onwards, but some nights he wakes up at least twice before midnight, and often before we've gone to bed so ideally I'd like him to sleep in his cot. Plus I find I don't sleep well with co-sleeping and he will only sleep for extended periods with a boob in his mouth if he's in our bed.
