DS slept from 8.30pm - 4am last night! woohoo! 3 times in a row sleeping through!

serendipity - i've tried that! all he does is get really really cranky, then i'll give him some bottle and he'll be happy again, smiling and playing for another half hour... then he'll get cranky again, so i give him some more bottle, another half an hour, CRANKY AGAIN! so yes thats the pattern he forms if he doesn't get enough sleep...

speaking of sleeping, he's actually asleep now! i've got him in his bouncer in the lounge with me with the tv on, he's been asleep for an hour! i hope this isnt a one-off...

btw DS is a very big baby, he's been holding his head up since 2 weeks old, he can lift himself onto his arms when he's on his belly(not for long tho but still...), he's starting to show signs of voluntary hand movement... and i think he only sleeps through now because he's on formula... if i was breastfeeding him he would still wake up every few hours during the night i guarrantee it!
