    Natty was doing this at one stage too. She did grow out of it (except for when we're on holidays - then she wakes at first light ). I can't remember how long it took. But for us it didn't last.
    I sooooo KWYM about the tiredness though! And I feel for you.

    Thanks gals. It helps so much to know we're not alone. I know he'll EVENTUALLY sleep better but it's so hard when we're in the thick of it.

    Je$$ - we've resigned ourselves to the fact that DS probably won't start sleeping well until he's 2. And if he reaches 2 and it's the same, we'll say 3. Gotta have goals!

    NaNa - DS has always been a very active baby. We had comments about him being so "alert" from the day he was born. It seems our bubs find it hard to switch off.

    chakra - thanks for the glimmer of hope. nice to know that things CAN change in a matter of months.

    Snacks - glad DS grew out of it too. so good to be reminded that it does happen eventually.

    Lee - i hope DS doesn't start this again at 2. just when you think you're done with the bad sleeping, it starts again.

    yep, good to have goals. It's hard to think about them at 3am when you're absolutely shattered... but this too shall pass! It has to. Everyone learns to sleep eventually. We get the comments about how alert DS is all the time too. Right from the start. Hopefully we can manage that alertness and activity and help them grow into clever little people, and happy big people too.

    yep that's what we tell ourselves. DS is alert because he's so clever and wants to work out this world he lives in
