Your son sounds like my son Ashley, 14 months (but my husband can't settle him, he has to have breast to go back to sleep). I use to think I was waking Ashley by co-sleeping but he wakes up just as much when he's in his cot. Not sure why he wakes so much. Don't worry about what the clinic say, if he's not asking for breast then how can that help him sleep through the night? He will sleep through eventually, I believe Ashley will and i'm not doing anything wrong. Why don't you visit Pinky's site also, she will have some re-assuring advice for you. It's reassuring reading this thread that they do eventually sleep.
