thanks, peeks. lol at waking you up to give you a hug... you'd have to be like 'thanks, buddy', but really feel like saying 'could that not have waited until 7am??!'. I feel my little one is doing the newborn thing in reverse, he was great sleeping until 7ish months. now he wakes all the time, won't go to sleep in his cot now - I have to sit next to his cot, hold his hand & sometimes lay on my bed with him until he goes to sleep, put him back in to cot only to have him wake again after his sleep cycle of 40 mins! This has just started since he's been sick (the not settling in cot thing). It's intense at the best of times, but really hard work as I'm sick atm too. I'm sure it will get better... :-/
