Yep, that's right chody47, when he starts stirring (when his grizzles and cries wake me up) it takes about 15-20 minutes until he is awake enough to offer a drink. When I have left him to try and resettle (while being next to him in bed) it has cried and it escalated and at about 45 minutes I pick him up and wrangle with him to try and settle him I don't like the wrangling.

I think tonight I will try and leave him to get through it himself. See what happens, stay with him but not attempt to settle him.
