DS would feed to sleep only until about 8m.

Either in the pushchair, laid flat, or DH does it (bum-patting). The man is a genius - he hadn't put DS to bed for a couple of weeks and his sleep has been shocking. He did it last night, DS slept 8-6. He's putting him to bed every night from now on.

He needs to be holding tight (vice-like, DH says) to Herr Hare, his soft bedtime bunny. I'm hoping that with time we can just give him the rabbit and he'll close his eyes!
