Good theory, Bath! I'm a good sleeper, DH a poor one, even now. He was sleeping through at 9 months, so only 3 left. (BTW, DH was a second child and MiL is a great mother, so not experience/mothering ability.)

The Vetivert oil... don't think it's doing anything, but will keep trying.

I tried relaxing music last night. I slept well, DS was waking up at the end of every cycle. So we had no music between 12 and 5 then Dr Seuss until we left the bedroom. However, I did find I can't judge wakings! It was 2am, I fed DS, he wanted more so I rolled over only to see it was 4am... so I'm clearly thinking he has 1 wake up when n fact it is 2! No more turning the stereo off as I see the clock that way.

However, DH saw I bought a cheapy CD player for DS's room yesterday and now won't talk to me because we can't afford things. But we can afford beers and expensive throwaway barbeques for his fishing trips, not to mention the amount he has spent on gear. Don't reply to that. just my little stress-grief for last night. Hmm, wonder if the stress affected DS?
