it does get better!! DS was waking 6-8 times a night up until a month ago. Now he wakes up 0-3 times a night and sleeps 12-14 hours! I still pinch myself, as 13months of constant waking was a total nightmare, just keep telling yourself that it will get better. There was nothing we did that caused him to stop waking he just grew out of it (now i've said that he'll prob start waking again!)

Goodluck i hope he settles for you soon!
