I really don't have any helpful suggestions, but was wondering have you left him with DH before?

I was wondering how our DS would be when he was younger, as I had to leave him overnight with DH a couple of times...it's amazing how different they actually are when you are not around. They do play on it if you are there at the time, but often not a fuss when you are not.

Also just wondering if you could work on DH doing some of these things each night til bubs is born, atm you DS is still very young so you should be able to change the habits. Just a thought.
