Morning all,

Well we had an OK sorta night. Blake was very unsettled between 10.30pm and midnight, so at midnight I suggested to DH that we try co-sleeping. Well it worked ok until 4am when he started to stir - kicking his legs up and down like he does in his own bed if he's not well tucked in.

Tried settling him with us, holding his hand etc but to no avail. Decided to get him up, feed him and put him to bed in his room. He didn't want a feed, was too busy looking at his mobiles etc - reacquianting himself with his room I guess - and he was yawning, so I put him into his bed and left him there. Went back to bed and listened to him talking for about 5 minutes and went in to plug him. Held his hand, gave his forehead a stroke and he was on his way to sleep. Left him to his own devices.

He woke at 8.30 this morning, so I've had 4 + 4 hours unbroken sleep. Woo Hoo.

I don't think this is how I want to do it every night, but my head doesn't feel so foggy as it does most mornings. And he is learning to settle himself to a degree.

Let's see how tonight goes!!!

Kate, I am going to ask my cousin in the UK is she can get a copy for me. She can either mail it or bring it with her in March when she comes to visit

Blake turned 27 weeks on Thursday so the past week of his crappy sleeping could be due to that wonder week. What was supposed to happen? Can you tell me? He's also got a bit of a snuffle so I put the vapouriser in his room last night. Not sure if it helped (mind you he was in with us for 4 hours)
